摘要
Chemicals such as tetracycline, dexamethasone, copper, salicylic acid and herbicide safeners have been explored as effector molecules to regulate the expression of transgenes in higher plants. The tetracycline-inducible promoter is, at present, the most advanced system and has already been used to study the function of a family of transcription factors in vivo. Dexamethasone inducible gene expression has been employed for cell-fate mapping in Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition, salicylic acid, which induces genes involved in systemic acquired resistance against pathogens, has been used to elicit protection against insect feeding in transgenic plants.
