To clarify the roles of bromelain in plants, we isolated BL1 gene encoding bromelain from pineapple stem tissues and sequenced. The full length cDNA is 933 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 311 amino acid residues. The cDNA is most similar 94% at the amino acid level to bromelain previously isolated from pineapple (BAA21929). Explants of Lactuca sativa were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tume faciences LBA 4404 strains containing nptll and BL1 gene for transformation.
