Fig. 2From: Identification of transcription factors interacting with a 1274 bp promoter of MaPIP1;1 which confers high-level gene expression and drought stress Inducibility in transgenic Arabidopsis thalianaGUS activity in transgenic Arabidopsis. (a) Histochemical GUS staining in the different tissues. (b) The constructs of the truncated fragments of pMaPIP1;1 fused with GUS. TSS, transcription start site. (c) Fluorometric GUS assays of M-P1--M-P4 transgenic Arabidopsis in comparison with the positive control CaMV35S promoter. Error bars show standard deviation. GUS activity was measured in pmol 4MU/μg protein/min. Values represent the mean ± standard deviation from three independent transgenic lines and each line five individual plants for each construct. Different lower case letters above the bars indicate significant differences at P < 0.05Back to article page
