Abstract:
We have isolated a full-length cDNA clone from the cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum, of which the deduced 225 amino acid sequence showed significant homology to the known ethylene-responsive element binding proteins (EREBPs) from tobacco and Arabidopsis. Although the clone shared substantial homology with an Arabidopsis ethylene-responsive element binding factor-3 (AtERF-3) throughout the full length, such a clone had not been found in N. tabacum cells yet; the clone was found to be 5th homologue of EREBPs on N. tabacum.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
