Isolation And Characterization

ZmSTK2_USP, located on the long arm of chromosome 4, belongs to the serine/threonine kinase gene in maize. The sequence analysis of 2100 bp upstream from the start codon ATG has shown that it contains cis-element motifs and two types of anther/pollen-specific promoter elements (GTGA and AGAAA), suggesting that it is the pollen-specific promoter. To investigate the function of ZmSTK2_USP promoter, the GUS gene fusion system was employed. In proZmSTK2_USP-GUS genetically modified plants, GUS activity was detected in mature pollen grains and pollen tubes but not found in other floral and vegetative tissues. These results show that proZmSTK2_USP is the pollen-specific promoter and drives pollen-specific activity during the middle stage of pollen development until pollen maturation.
