| abstract |
A vector for use in the genetic transformation of strawberry cells comprises a promoter sequence, a regulation sequence and a transcription termination sequence, in which the regulation sequence comprises the coding region, or a fragment of at least 10 bases thereof, of a strawberry protein selected from O-methyl transferase, acyl carrier protein (ACP), elongation factor, auxin-induced gene, cysteine(thiol) proteinase, cellulase, starch phosphorylase, pyruvate decarboxylase, chalcone reductase, protein kinase, auxin-related gene, sucrose transporter, meristem pattern gene, or selected from a strawberry protein with homology to transcribed sequence accession number T45086, transcribed sequence accession number L36159 or transcribed sequence accession number T45902, or selected from a strawberry protein of unknown homology encoded by one of the StrawRipe sequences A to K. |
