Transcription profiling of developing wild type pea seeds and those expressing anti-ABA antibodies

ABSTRACT: ABA regulates in plants a wide range of developmental events, mediates responses to environmental stress and is necessary to proceed through seed maturation and to acquire desiccation tolerance and dormancy. Immuno-modulation is a suitable means to study ABA functions during seed maturation. Anti-ABA single chain antibody was expressed in pea seed driving LeB4-promoter (Saalbach et al., High-level expression of a single chain Fv fragment (scFv) antibody in transgenic pea seeds J. Plant Physiol. 2001 158: 529-533), which produced only a weak phenotype with slightly decreased seed weight, globulin/albumin and total nitrogen content (aABA line 16 cultivar ‘Erbi’). In another approach with a stronger, improved USP-promoter used to express the anti-ABA antibody in pea seeds a different phenoty
