玉米蔗糖转运蛋白家族基因的克隆与分析

Sucrose transporters (SUTs) are responsible for the allocation of sucrose both within the plant cell and at the whole plant level. Here, a search of the maize genome identified seven SUT genes, varying with respect to their exon/intron structure. The content of cis-acting regulatory elements within each gene's promoter region was identified in silico, and the relative abundance of each gene in nine defined organs was concluded from an analysis of archival EST data.
