Abstract: | Expression of the bacterial gene for thermostable -1,4-glucanase (cellulase) from Clostridium thermocellum in transgenic tobacco plants was shown to produce significant changes in tobacco plant structure and activities. The transgenic plants differed in their growth rate and morphology, and their hormonal status was affected. Thus, the transgenic plants expressing the gene for thermostable bacterial cellulase are a convenient model to study the role of -1,4-glucanases in plant physiological processes. |
