PLASMIDS FOR CONTROLLING EXPRESSION IN PLANTS

摘要

Plasmids that comprise DNA sequences that permit the expression, controlled in respect of time and location, of a heterologous product in plants are described. The expression is not achieved until an inducer has been added. The DNA sequences include a functional combination of plant expression sequences and bacterial control sequences. Plants that comprise the DNA sequences of those plasmids are also described. Tetracycline is used as an inducer.
