A three-component gene expression system and its application for inducible flavonoid overproduction in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.

Inducible gene expression is a powerful tool to study and engineer genes whose overexpression could be detrimental for the host organisms. However, only limited systems have been adopted in plant biotechnology. We have developed an osmotically inducible system using three components of plant origin,...
