摘要: DNA methylation has been associated with gene activity in differentiating and developing plant tissues. The objective of this study was to determine the involvement expression a transferred into carrot (Daucus carota L.) tissues by particle bombardment. Expression Dc8-GUS construct response treatments 5-azacytidine (S-azaC) vitro methylases investigated histochemical assay GUS activity. 5-azaC treatment increased frequency Dc8-driven both calli somatic embryos. increase occurred either E. coli containing plasmid insert or before expression, treatment, enhanced ABA embryos more prominent latter. Increased digestion 5-azaC-treated EcoRII suggested that demethylation had occurred. In generally resulted lower expression. SssI methylase completely inhibited level correlated extent plasmid.
