Abstract
We report the isolation of a turgor-responsive gene of pea, trg-31, whose transcription induced within 30 min after the loss of leaf turgor. Structure of the coding region and 1.4 kb of 5' untranslated region was determined by DNA sequencing. A 3 kb promoter fragment from trg-31 was fused to a beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in pBI101, tobacco leaf disks and mature plants analyzed for turgor-responsive induction of GUS mRNA. Significant amino acid sequence homology exists between trg-31 and putative transport proteins of bovine, Phaseolus, soybean and Escherichia coli membranes.Entities:
