Promoter analysis of the SCBV-IM promoter. Three fragments of the SCBV-IM promoter fused with the luciferase reporter gene and tested for activity in transient assays and compared with a luciferase construct without a promoter. These constructs were transfected into maize Hi-II cultures along with a ZmUBI1::GUS construct. Activity is reported as the ratio of Luciferase activity (LU) from the test construct to GUS activity (GU) from the internal control construct. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three measurements. Analysis of Variance and Tukey-Kramer HSD tests (α = 0.05) indicate significant differences in LU/GU ratios for all constructs tested.
