GUS fusions: beta‐glucuronidase as a sensitive and versatile gene fusion marker in higher plants.
TL;DR: GUS is very stable, and tissue extracts continue to show high levels of GUS activity after prolonged storage, and Histochemical analysis has been used to demonstrate the localization of gene activity in cells and tissues of transformed plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of 1.9 Mb of contiguous sequence from chromosome 4 of Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: Analysis of the sequence revealed an average gene density of one gene every 4.8 kilobases, and 54% of the predicted genes had significant similarity to known genes, and other interesting features were found, such as the sequence of a disease-resistance gene locus, the distribution of retroelements, and the frequent occurrence of clustered gene families.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potato virus X as a vector for gene expression in plants
TL;DR: Results suggest a role for the viral coat protein in key stages of the viral infection cycle and show that gene replacement constructs are not suitable for the production of PVX-based gene vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Many parallel losses of infA from chloroplast DNA during angiosperm evolution with multiple independent transfers to the nucleus.
Ronny S. Millen,Richard G. Olmstead,Keith L. Adams,Jeffrey D. Palmer,Nga T. Lao,Laura Heggie,Tony A. Kavanagh,Julian M. Hibberd,John C. Gray,Clifford W. Morden,Patrick J. Calie,Lars S. Jermiin,Kenneth H. Wolfe,Kenneth H. Wolfe +13 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of infA sequences and assessment of transit peptide homology indicate that the four nuclear infA genes are probably derived from four independent gene transfers from chloroplast to nuclear DNA during angiosperm evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Inactivation of the Plastid ndhB Gene in Tobacco Results in an Enhanced Sensitivity of Photosynthesis to Moderate Stomatal Closure
Eva Horvath,Stefan Peter,Thierry Joët,Dominique Rumeau,Laurent Cournac,Gábor V. Horváth,Tony A. Kavanagh,Christian Schäfer,Gilles Peltier,Peter Medgyesy +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the plastid NAD(P)H:plastoquinone oxidoreductase in tobacco performs a significant physiological role by facilitating photosynthesis at moderate CO(2) limitation.
