Construction of a heat-inducible gene for plants. Demonstration of heat-inducible activity of the Drosophila hsp70 promoter in plants.
A chimeric gene containing the neomycin phosphotransferase II coding region under the control of the hsp70 promoter from Drosophila was integrated and found to be expressed, in a heat-regulated fashion, in tobacco tissue.
