Expression of six chloroplast DNA genes in Jatropha Curcas callus under light and dark conditions
The expression of genes encoded in the open reading frames of chloroplast genomes have been posited to be induced by light. The current study focused on the induction of ORFs encoded in the chloroplast genome of Jatropha curcas (Accession number FJ695500). J. curcas is an important non-edible oil se...

The expression of genes encoded in the open reading frames of chloroplast genomes have been posited to be induced by light. The current study focused on the induction of ORFs encoded in the chloroplast genome of Jatropha curcas (Accession number FJ695500). J. curcas is an important non-edible oil seed crop, which produces oil with high calorific value and is regarded as a potential fuel substitute. By understanding the gene expression of chloroplast DNA under light stress, potential genes candidate can be used for callus transformation. Gene induction was characterized in leaves of the plant, green callus and white callus cultivated under condition of light and darkness. A total of six ORFs representing the genes YCF1, YCF2, psbD (photosystem II), rbcL (Rubisco), matK (Maturase K) and rpoC1(RNA polymerase) were targeted by designing speCific primers for their characterization. Specificity of primers was tested against the genomic DNA.
