18. Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype C24 was transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains carrying sense and antisense ANR1 constructs. The sense construct was generated by fusing the pANR1 cDNA in the sense orientation to a duplicated cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter [F. Guerineau, A. Lucy, P. Mullineaux, Plant Mol. Biol. 18, 815 (1992)]. For the antisense construct, a polymerase chain reaction fragment corresponding to bases 262 to 969 of the pANR1 sequence (which excludes the conserved MADS-box domain) was fused in the antisense orientation to the same promoter. Both constructs were transferred to pBIN19 and introduced into A. tumefaciens by electroporation. Root explants were transformed as described [D. Valvekens, M. Van Montagu, M. Van Lijsebettens, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 5536 (1988)].
