Figure 7From: The 5′UTR-intron of the Gladiolus polyubiquitin promoter GUBQ1 enhances translation efficiency in Gladiolus and ArabidopsisTransient expression of the gfp gene in tobacco leaves. A. Relative GFP mRNA level. B. Relative amount of GFP expressed. C. Specific GFP amount/unit mRNA of GFP. Average GFP level of three leaves for each construct divided by its corresponding mRNA level. G1-1(A) contained the Arabidopsis actin7 gene and its 5′-UTR intron (540 bp) instead of the Gladiolus 5′-UTR intron.Back to article page
