Cloning and function verification of epithiospecifier protein gene from Chinese cabbage by SUN Hai-yan, YUAN Gao-feng, WANG Qiao-mei

“…However, the gene of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis) ESP (BcESP) has not been cloned yet and the function of BcESP in the regulation of glucosinolate hydrolysis and its physiological role in Chinese cabbage remain unclear.To investigate the physiological roles of ESPs in Brassica vegetables, the gene of BcESP was coloned and its function was preliminarily verified.Total RNA was extracted from Chinese cabbage used as the template to amplify 3′ sequence and 5′ sequence of cDNA of BcESP by RT-PCR using degenerate primers, and then the full cDNA of BcESP was obtained. …”
