摘要:To improve the resistance of citrus to canker

disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac),

it is important to identify gene promoters that are specifically induced by pathogen infection. Here, we evaluated

the functionality of PPP1 and hsr203J (Nicotiana tabacum

L.) and gst1 (potato) pathogen-inducible promoters to drive

expression of the b-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in

transgenic citrus. The activities of these promoters in

response to the Xac pathogen and wounding were determined quantitatively and qualitatively by fluorometric and

histochemical GUS assays, and compared with that of the

cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. In citrus,

the hsr203J promoter from tobacco was hardly activated by

the Xac pathogen or wounding, whereas the PPP1 and gst1

promoters were rapidly and efficiently activated by both

inducers. There was very little visible background

expression from the PPP1 promoter, but a high level of

background expression from the gst1 promoter. Because of

its low background expression, the PPP1 promoter was

more responsive to Xac and wounding than was the gst1

promoter. However, the gst1 promoter was more rapidly
