PLANT MEMBRANE RECEPTOR PROTEIN GENE CAMRP1 FROM PEPPER AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS RESISTANT TRANSGENIC PLANTS USING THE SAME

摘要

A plant membrane receptor protein gene CaMRP1 derived from pepper is provided to confer resistance against environmental stresses including methyl jasmonate and high salt on plants by overexpressing the gene, so that the gene is useful for producing and screening transgenic plants having environmental stress resistance. A plant membrane receptor protein gene CaMRP1 derived from pepper(Capsicum annuum L. cv. Hanbyul) has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the plant membrane receptor protein has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. An environmental stress resistant transgenic plant is produced by inserting the plant membrane receptor protein gene CaMRP1 into pBIN35S to prepare a recombinant vector, and transforming a plant such as Arabidopsis thaliana with the recombinant vector.
