Recombinant DNA; transformed microorganisms, plant cells and plants; a process for introducing an inducible property in plants, and a process for producing a polypeptide or protein by means of plants or plant cells.

摘要

This invention relates to recombinant DNA comprising vector-DNA and a DNA sequence corresponding with, or relates to, a salicylate-inducible promoter of a GRP gene of plants, such as tobacco plants. The invention also relates to microorganisms, plant cells and plants transformed using the recombinant DNA, to a process for introducing an inducible property in plants and to a process for producing a polypeptide or protein, using plant cells and plants transformed using the recombinant DNA.
