Promoter analysis in Banana

Abstract:

Currently, several research laboratories are developing genetically modified bananas and plantains for different purposes, while new transgenic crops are being developed and released in several countries. Therefore, a more regulated transgene expression is needed. Furthermore, native banana promoters should imply a more public acceptance than heterologous sequences. Promoter isolation could be performed by an insertional mutagenesis approach or indirectly by analyzing expression patterns of related genes. Advances in genomics led to the genome sequencing and gene annotation of banana, as a source to identify candidate promoters for specific expression patterns. The challenge in computational approaches for promoter characterization is to precisely identify pattern of expression. Actually, promoter analysis for activity characterization has been confirmed through experimentation with …
