title: Stage-specific transcription of the homebox gene Bnhd1 in young tissues and flowers of Brassica napus.
abstract: The Bnhd1 cDNA, only distantly related to published homebox gene sequences, was isolated from Brassica napus by the polymerase chain reaction. The Bnhd1 transcript was detected in all organs of young seedlings, but only in the youngest leaves and flowers of mature plants. A 4- and 7-fold increase in transcription levels was observed after wounding of young roots and leaves, respectively.
