[molecular genetics and biotechnology in medicinal plants: studies by transgenic plants].	the advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology in the field of medicinal plant research are discussed with focusing on the works using transgenic plants. differentiated organ cultures and transgenic teratomas, incited by the infection with mutants of agrobacterium ti and ri plasmids, were established in quinolizidine-alkaloid producing plants and solanaceae plants. these cultured cells were used for the production and bioconversion of specific alkaloids produced in these plants. the method ...	1994	8133455
two negative cis-regulatory regions involved in fruit-specific promoter activity from watermelon (citrullus vulgaris s.).	a 1.8 kb 5'-flanking region of the large subunit of adp-glucose pyrophosphorylase, isolated from watermelon (citrullus vulgaris s.), has fruit-specific promoter activity in transgenic tomato plants. two negative regulatory regions, from -986 to -959 and from -472 to -424, were identified in this promoter region by fine deletion analyses. removal of both regions led to constitutive expression in epidermal cells. gain-of-function experiments showed that these two regions were sufficient to inhibit ...	2008	19073962
