摘要:
This invention discloses a novel cold-inducible promoter which induces gene expression at low temperatures in potato tubers but which is scarcely induced in organs other than tuber or at normal temperature, which induces gene expression for a long time not less than five months. The promoters of this invention are the DNA sequence having a nucleotide sequence from first to 3546th nucleotide in the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, or a part thereof having a cold-inducible promoter activity, or a DNA sequence having the same nucleotide sequence as said DNA sequences except that one or more nucleotides are deleted or substituted, or one or more nucleotides are inserted or added, which DNA sequence has a cold-inducible promoter activity and the DNA sequence having a nucleotide sequence from first to 4120th nucleotide in the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a part thereof having a cold-inducible promoter activity, or a DNA sequence having the same nucleotide sequence as the said DNA sequences except that one or more nucleotides are deleted or substituted, or one or more nucleotides are inserted or added, which DNA sequence has a cold-inducible promoter activity.
摘要:
A hypercholesterolemia therapeutic agent containing lycopene as an effective ingredient. The hypercholesterolemia therapeutic agent comprises a soft-capsulated drug, and the soft-capsulated drug comprises a soft capsule which comprises gelatin and glycerin, and contents which comprise lycopene, .beta.-carotene, .alpha.-carotene, d-.alpha. tocopherol and a mixture of a wheat germ oil and a vegetable oil, which contents are packed into the soft capsule.
摘要:
A DNA encoding cold stable PFK, a recombinant vector which can express a cold stable PFK in a host cell, and a method for changing sugar content in plant cells under low temperature using the recombinant vector are disclosed. The present invention provides a DNA encoding ATP dependent fructose 6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase originating from a plant, as well as a recombinant vector comprising the DNA and a plant transformed with the DNA.
