pubmed:abstractText
A hybridization probe was used to study the regulation of expression of the gene coding for the small subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, during functional differentiation of protoplasts. A library of cDNA from poly(A)-containing RNA extracted from specially treated tobacco leaves was constructed in the plasmid pBR322 by blunt-end ligation. This library was screened by colony hybridization with 32P-labelled cDNA prepared from mRNA coding for the precursor of the small subunit. A positive colony was identified containing recombinant plasmids with a nucleotide sequence homologous to this mRNA. These plasmids, bound to diazobenzyloxymethylated cellulose paper, were then used as a hybridization probe. The results showed unambiguously that the small subunit was not transcribed in protoplasts but was transcribed in undifferentiated white and chlorophyll-containing green callus cultures derived from protoplasts. The discrepancy between these results and those obtained with classical techniques is discussed.
