A gene LN2-1-1 identified by screening a tomato pistil cDNA library has been found to encode a basic protein containing ankryin repeats. This clone was isolated by its binding ability to a specific DNA fragment in the tomato floral chitinase promoter using a yeast one hybrid system. An analysis of t...
