Description: The β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene was isolated in 1986 from the bacterium Escherichia coli. Since then it has been widely used as a reporter gene in genetically modified organisms serving to study gene expression and tissue specificity of different promoter sequences. We have introduced the GUS gene into tobacco plants through Agrobacterium-mediated genomic transformation. The plants that were… more
