Abstract: Based on the homology comparison, glutathione transferases (GSTs) in plants are distributed into different classes, which are known to play different roles in plant growth and development. Among GSTs, the function of zeta class GSTs (GSTZ) is not well characterized. Here, the promoter sequence of AtGSTZ1 gene was isolated from Arabidopsis, and a fusion expression vector of AtGSTZ1 promoter and GUS gene was constructed and introduced into Arabidopsis by A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Histochemical staining of Arabidopsis indic...
