Woong Bom Kim; Chan Ju Lim; Hyun A. Jang; et al. Canadian Journal of Plant Science 2013. doi:10.4141/cjps2013-084
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 SlPMEI expression was independent of abiotic stress, pathogen exposure and growth stage.
- 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.
