PLANT LIGAND-GATED ION CHANNELS

摘要

Recombinant plant proteins that are expected to function as ligand gated ion-channel proteins, such as GABA receptor proteins, are provided, as are nucleotide sequences encoding these proteins. The invention also provides recombinant vectors including the nucleotide sequences encoding the proteins described herein. Further provided are plant host cells that include the recombinant vectors described herein, transgenic plants and methods of using the nucleotide and amino acid sequences described herein, including methods of treating plants, method of expressing the proteins described herein, methods of modifying receptor activity in a plant and methods of regulating plant metabolism.
