Abstract:
... The Cre/loxP-based self-excision represents a promising strategy for removal of hazardous transgene(s) from genomes of targeted crops prior to their introduction into environment. Here, we applied the Cre/loxP self-excision strategy in which the cre recombinase gene is driven by the embryo-specific CRUC promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana. Besides, the Cre/loxP cassette, the T-DNA also consisted of ...

Abstract:
... The gene fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) exists in multiple copies in the Brassica napus genome and encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oleic acid to linoleic acid. In the present study, we characterized the regulatory region controlling the expression of an FAD2 gene located on chromosome C5 of Brassica napus and named it BnFAD2-C5. A long intron was found within the 5′-untranslated ...

There are multiple FAD2 gene copies in B. napus genome. The FAD2 gene characterized and analyzed in the study is located on chromosome A5 and was designated as BnFAD2A5-1. BnFAD2A5-1 harbors an intron (1192bp) within its 5′-untranslated region ...

Abstract:
... The gus gene is one of the most frequently used reporter genes in transgenic plants. However, this gene can only be used if the selected plant species does not show endogenous GUS activity. Rapeseed (Brassica napus) microspores and microspore-derived embryos (MDEs) were found to exhibit high activity of endogenous β-glucuronidase which interferes with the expression of bacterial β-glucuronidase th ...

Abstract:
... Lacking P protein of glycine decarboxylase (GDCP) from the mesophyll cells was one of the major steps for C₃ species to evolve into C₃–C₄ species. Previous studies indicated that the lack of P protein in the mesophyll cells of C₃–C₄ species of Flaveria is regulated by gene different transcription. In the family of Brassicaceae, most plants show a typical C₃ photosynthetic characteristic, which inc ...

Abstract:
... The canola industry generates more than $11 billion of yearly income to the Canadian economy. One problem of meal quality is the dark polyphenolic pigments that accumulate in the seed coat. Seed coat-specific promoters are a pre-requisite to regulate the genes involved in seed coat development and metabolism. The β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene was used to test an Arabidopsis promoter in devel ...

Abstract:
... Transcriptional activity of a 573-bp fragment of HSP101 (At1g74310) incorporated into a Mutator-like element (MULE) transposon was investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia. Sequence identity between the HSP101-MULE arrangement and a continuous segment of the original HSP101 promoter, 5' UTR exon, and open reading frame (ORF) was high (87%) but lower in the 5' UTR intron (69%). Collectively, t ...

Abstract:
... A prototypical characteristic of the Brassicaceae is the presence of the myrosinase-glucosinolate system. Myrosinase, the only known S-glycosidase in plants, degrades glucosinolates, thereby initiating the formation of isothiocyanates, nitriles and other reactive products with biological activities. We have used myrosinase gene promoters from Brassica napus and Arabidopsis thaliana fused to the β- ...

The use of silver nitrate was a pre-requisite for efficient shoot regeneration. Hypocotyls were selected as the starting material for transformation experiments on the basis of high transient GUS expression. ...

We have demonstrated that low concentrations of ethanol vapor efficiently induce the alc gene expression system in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Samsun NN), potato (Solanum tuberosum cv Solara), and oilseed rape (Brassica napus cv Westar). For many situations, this may be the preferred method of induction because it avoids direct application of comparatively high concentrations of an ethanol solut ...

The FCA transcript is alternatively processed to yield four transcripts, the most abundant of which is polyadenylated within intron 3. We have analyzed the role of the alternative processing on the floral transition. The introduction of FCA intron-less transgenes resulted in increased FCA prote ...

Abstract:
... During leaf abscission in oilseed rape (Brassica napus), cell wall degradation is brought about by the action of several hydrolytic enzymes. One of these is thought to be polygalacturonase (PG). Degenerate primers were used to isolate a PG cDNA fragment by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction from RNA extracted from ethylene-promoted leaf abscission zones (AZs), and in turn a full-lengt ...
