Abstract: PCR were performed to clone LTP3 promoter from color cotton.Sequencing analysis results indicated that it contained 1 548 nt;the homology is 99% compared with the LTP3 reported by Liu,and only 4 nucleotides were changed.The LTP3(1548bp) promoter was fused with the E.coli.β-glucuronidase gene(GUS) and transformed into tobacco.The results suggested that GUS expressions under control of LTP3 promoter were detected only in the trichomes of transgenic tobacco leaves,while the positive control,contains Cauliflower mosaic Virus(CaMV) 35S promoter and GUS gene,was constitutively expressed,and there are no GUS expression in the negative control(untransformation plants).The results indicated that LTP3 promoter can be used to express the heterologous genes in tobacco leaves.
