Sequence comparison of the 5’ flanking regions of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) S-RNases associated with gametophytic self-incompatibility
Tóm tắt
Genomic clones of 2.8 kb, 4.3 kb and 6.5 kb for the S2-, S3- and S5-RNases of Japanese pear(Pyrus pyrifolia), respectively, were isolated and sequenced. Comparison of the 5’-flanking regions of these genes with the same region of the S4-RNase gene indicated that a highly similar region of approximately 200 bp exists in the regions just upstream of the putative TATA boxes of the four Japanese pear S-RNase genes. This suggests the presence of cis-regulatory element(s) in this region.
