Abstract:The different lengths of 5′ flanking sequence of UGPase were cloned by Adaptor-ligation PCR. These different lengths of 5′ flanking sequences of UGPase gene were fused with the coding sequence of GUS (β-glucuronidase) gene to construct fusion genes. All the fusion genes were injected into leaves of Nicotiana tabacum for transient GUS expression. The results showed that the 5′ flanking sequence of UGPase gene did not have any promoter activity.
