GFP-tagged pollen to monitor pollen flow of transgenic plants. Hudson, L., C., Chamberlain, D., & Stewart, C., N. Molecular Ecology Notes, 1(4):321-324, 2001.
abstract   bibtex   
In this study, the pollen-active LAT59 promoter from tomato was used to express a green fluorescent protein (GFP) encoding gene in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) pollen. This promoter is preferentially expressed in anthers and pollen. Pollen in transgenic plants segregated in a 1 : 1 Mendelian ratio, and the plants were polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive. GFP- tagged pollen was developed as a tool for tracking the movement of transgenic plant pollen in the environment. Specifically, it should be a useful tool for characterizing the spatial distribution patterns of transgenic pollen, to determine pollination mechanisms, to monitor the effects on nontarget organisms, and to monitor gene flow in field conditions.
