Promoter of the rolC gene of Agrobacterium rhizogenes can be strongly regulated in glandular cell of transgenic tobacco.
A 577-bp promoter segment of Agrobacterium rhizogenes rolC, previously known as the phloem-specific gene expression promoter, was fused to the 5' end of a reporter gene, beta-glucuronidase (GUS), uidA. This rolC-promoter-driven expression of the GUS gene was found to be significantly strong in glandular cells in transgenic tobacco plants. Analysis of this segment of the promoter sequence revealed a myb response element.
