Journal ArticleDOI

The promoter of TL-DNA gene 5 controls the tissue-specific expression of chimaeric genes carried by a novel type of Agrobacterium binary vector

TL;DR: It was found that the gene 5 promoter is active in a tissue-specific fashion whereas this is not the case for the NOS promoter, providing the first documented instance of a gene derived from a procaryotic host the expression of which is apparently regulated by plant growth factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved method for the isolation of RNA from plant tissues.

TL;DR: A fast and efficient method for the isolation of RNA from plant tissues is described, of particular use for isolating RNA from tissues with a high polysaccharide and nuclease content such as wounded potato tubers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brassinosteroids Rescue the Deficiency of CYP90, a Cytochrome P450, Controlling Cell Elongation and De-etiolation in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Brassinosteroids compensate for different cell elongation defects of Arabidopsis det, cop, fus, and axr2 mutants, indicating that these steroids play an essential role in the regulation of plant development.
Journal ArticleDOI

New plant binary vectors with selectable markers located proximal to the left T-DNA border

TL;DR: Five new binary vectors have been constructed which have the following features: selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (uidA) reporter genes are divergently organized for efficient expression, and can easily be removed or replaced as needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ti plasmid vector for the introduction of DNA into plant cells without alteration of their normal regeneration capacity.

TL;DR: A Ti plasmid mutant was constructed in which all the on‐cogenic functions of the T‐DNA have been deleted and replaced by pBR322 and is proposed as an extremely versatile vector for the introduction of any DNA of interest into plant cells.
