APPLICATIONS
► The cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter
has been most commonly used in plant
transformation studies, but its activity in
mushrooms has not been reported.
► p301-b is a binary vector containing a bialaphos
resistance gene driven by the promoter of Lentinus
edodes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
dehydrogenase (GPD) gene.
► CaMV 35S-GUS was inserted into p301-b, and the
resulting construct p301-bG was transformed to
protoplasts of Ganoderma lucidum and
basidiospores of Pleurotus citrinopileatus.
► GUS activity was observed in the transformants,
indicating that CaMV 35S promoter can direct
expression of exogenous gene in the mushrooms.
This is the first report on the application of CaMV
35S promoter in genetic modification of
