Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The authors cloned and characterized a novel tomato PMEI gene, SlPMEI.
- Observation SlPMEI was expressed specifically in pollen.
- Observation The SlPMEI promoter contained pollen specific cis acting elements.
- Observation Histochemistry showed pollen specific promoter activity in Arabidopsis.
- Observation Histochemistry showed pollen specific promoter activity in tomato.
- Observation Transgenic tomato stamens showed pollen specific GUS expression.
- Observation The authors infer strong pollen specific SlPMEI promoter activity.
- Recommendation The authors suggest the promoter could aid development of transgenic plants.
