Expression analysis of plant intracellular Ras-group related leucine-rich repeat proteins (PIRLs) in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis thaliana contains a family of nine genes known as plant intracellular Ras-group related leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins (PIRLs). These are structurally similar to animals and fungal LRR proteins and play important roles in developmental pathways. However, to date, no detailed tissue-specific expression analysis of these PIRLs has been performed. Therefore, in this study, we generated promoter:GUS transgenic plants for the nine A. thaliana PIRL genes and identified their expression patterns in seedlings and floral organs at different developmental stages. Most PIRL members showed expression in the root apical region and in the vascular tissue of primary and lateral roots. Shoot apex-specific expression was recorded for PIRL1 and PIRL8
