We have constructed a soybean genomic DNA library in Escherichia coli K12 strain KC13 using plasmid pPV33, which consists of a promoter-less tetracycline resistance (Tcr) gene. A recombinant clone, KC13(pAU-SB1)+, was obtained by selecting for resistance to tetracycline in the presence of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Restriction enzyme cleavage and Southern hybridization analysis revealed that the pAU-SB1 plasmid has a 250 bp soybean DNA insert fused with the Tcr gene. In the presence of a selected group of auxins, induction of the Tcr phenotype and mRNA synthesis of the Tcr gene are observed only in KC13(pAU-SB1)+ cultures. On the other hand, induction of the Tcr phenotype and mRNA synthesis of the Tcr gene are absent in cells harboring the cloning vector pPV33 or a recombinant plasmid containing the 250 bp insert in the reverse orientation, pAU-SB1ro. This demonstrated a need for the insertion of the 250 bp soybean DNA and the specificity of its orientation in response to IAA induction. The start point of mRNA transcription in response to IAA, IBA, IPA, 2,4,5-T, and alpha-NAP is at base pair -96 or -95 upstream of the translational start site of the Tc- gene and base pair -98 with 2,4-D.
