Abstract

DELLA protein is the key negative regulator of GA signal response. In order to study the effect of GA on development of cotton fiber, we cloned GhGAI gene, a member of DELLA gene family from the upland cotton EST database by electronic cloning method based on EST. According to the electronic cloning sequence, an integrate coding region was amplified from cotton(Gossypium hirsutum) ovule cDNA. A protein band with molecular weight (Mr) of 62000 was obtained from the prokaryotic expression products by SDS-PAGE. The protein was then purified by His-tag affinity chromatography and used for mutiple-cloned antibody preparation by rabbit immunization. Indirect ELISA test and the Western blot analysis showed that the anti-serum was in high immunocompetence and high specificity.
