We studied the temporal and spatial pattern of lipid transfer protein (LTP) gene expression, as well as the localization of this protein, in maize. Using an LTP gene, we observed an accumulation of LTP mRNA in embryos and endosperms during seed maturation. LTP gene expression was also investigated in young seedlings. After germination, the level of LTP mRNA in the coleoptile increased, with a maximum at 7 days, whereas LTP mRNA levels were low in the scutellum and negligible in roots. The high levels of LTP mRNA found in coleoptiles and embryos were confirmed by in situ hybridization. Moreover, LTP gene expression appeared to be localized in the external cellular layers and around the leaf veins. Using immunogold methods, we also observed that LTP was distributed heterogeneously in the different cells of coleoptiles and leaves. The highest concentrations of LTP were found in the outer epidermis of the coleoptiles as well as the leaf veins. Together, our observations indicate that LTP gene expression is not only organ specific and time specific but also cell specific.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
