CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF ECHB1 GENE RELATED TO MECHANISM OF INCREASING FIBER LENGTH IN EUCALYPTUS SPECIES
Keywords:
Cloning, EcHB1 gene, Eucalytpus, Fiber lengthAbstract
In this study, we cloned and sequenced a full length cDNA encoding EcHB1gene from
Eucalyptus grandis. The EcHB1 gene is 759bp in length and it encodes a 252 amino acid protein.
Alignment of the isolated sequence and that of the Genebank (AB458829) indicated that one
nucleotide is different between two sequences (A and G in 112 position). However, the
difference in nucleotide sequence does not impact the amino acid sequence. The isolated
plasmids contain EcHB1 gene is a good starting material for further study on gene
transformation of Eucalyptus species
