Title: Soybeam ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit gene family: gene structure and regulation of gene expression. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5442830

The ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC) small subunit gene family in soybean is being examined as a source of strong transcriptional control signals in plants. Six new RuBPC small subunit recombinants have been isolated from two new soybean DNA libraries. These clones are being characterized and compared to existing clones. Portions of a second gene, SRS2, have been sequenced and already have suggested a new approach to this gene family. It is expected that portions of the control sequences will be highly conserved between distant members of the small subunit gene family. Sequence comparison may aid us in identifying which sequences are important and should be examined further.
