title: [Function of auxin-binding protein gene during cucumber fruit development].
abstract: A cDNA fragment that encodes auxin-binding protein 1 was amplified by, reverse polymerase chain reaction from ovary of cucumber. Its expression signals were weak in the ovary of 1 d before anthesis, while got strong in 2, 4 and 6 d after pollination. Among the unpollinated ovary of 2 d after anthesis, those that got enlarged had strong expression signals; the others that were wilting had weak signals. This indicated that auxin-binding protein 1 gene possibly play a role in cucumber fruit development. When auxin-binding protein 1 gene of Arabidopsis was transformed into cucumber, the parthenocarpic rate of transgenic plants was 31.7%, higher than the control. This result showed that the sensibility to auxin was increased in transgenic plants.
