PLANT-DERIVED GLUTATHIONE-S-TRANSFERASE, ENCODING DNA AND USES THEREOF

摘要

2111983 9301294 PCTABS00019 The chemically-inducible 27 kD subunit of the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, isoform II (GST-II-27) and sequences encoding it are provided. In particular, a genomic DNA sequence encoding the gene promoter for the GST-II-27 subunit is provided. When linked to an exogenous gene and introduced into a plant by transformation, the GST-II-27 promoter provides a means for the external regulation of expression of that exogenous gene. Transformation with DNA encoding glutathione-S-transferase polypeptides produces herbicide resistance transgenic plants.
