Abstract
Light induction of chloroplast maturation in plant seedlings (‘greening’) is associated with the induction in expression of the enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase. To define the regions of a gene encoding the small subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase involved in light inducibility of pea plants, we have introduced derivatives of the gene into petunia cells using a tumour-inducing plasmid vector. A conserved 33-base pair sequence close to the ‘TATA’ box of the gene is sufficient to confer light inducibility of the small subunit gene.
