The globally uniquely solvable (GUS) property of the linear transformation of the linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones has been studied recently by Gowda et al. via the approach of Euclidean Jordan algebra. In this paper, we contribute a new approach to characterizing the GUS property of the linear transformation of the second-order cone linear complementarity problems (SOCLCP) ...

Transformation experiments were carried out using different explants of two varieties of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.), namely, CVL-1 and CVE-3 with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain (LBA4404/pBI121) containing the GUS and nptII genes. Maximum transformation ability was obtained from petiole-attached cotyledons and mature embryo explants. Kanamycin at a concentration of 200 mg/l was found...

A simple and reliable mushroom transformation procedure based on electroporation of basidiospores or mycelial fragments was developed. This method eliminated the problem of protoplast preparation, the transformation efficiency were 30-150 transformants per mug DNA and the hygromycin resistant marker gene and gus were expressed in Lentinula edodes successfully. No false positive antibiotic-resis...

The genomic clone encoding an alpha-tubulin, OsTubA1, has been isolated from rice (Oryza sativa L.). The gene consists of four exons and three introns. RNA-blot analysis showed that the gene is strongly expressed in actively dividing tissues, including root tips, young leaves, and young flowers. Analysis of chimeric fusions between OsTubA1 and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) revealed that the intron 1...

Sieve tubes are comprised of sieve elements, enucleated cells that are incapable of RNA and protein synthesis. The proteins in sieve elements are supplied from the neighboring companion cells through plasmodesmata. In rice plants, it was unclear whether or not all proteins produced in companion cells had the same distribution pattern in the sieve element-companion cell complex. In this study, t...

We have developed a new T-DNA vector, pGA2715, which can be used for promoter trapping and activation tagging of rice (Oryza sativa) genes. The binary vector contains the promoterless beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene next to the right border. In addition, the multimerized transcriptional enhancers from the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter are located next to the left border. A total ...
