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 |
