Abstract

It was cloned from an indica rice cultivar IR36. The nucleotide sequence of this sbe1 gene showed significant homology to the sequence of the sbe1 gene reported of Kawasaki, except the absence of a 335 bp sequence of Tourist-Os6 in the 5^flanking region of sbe1 gene from indica rice cultivar IR36. Moreover, a foot print remained at the site where it was inserted.
