Abstract: The 893bp fragment of root-specific promoter of tobacco TobRB7 gene, namely NT1, was cloned by PCR. The expression vector pBI-NT1 : : Pro, driven by tobacco root-specific promoter NT1, was constructed from pBI121 by substituting the CaMV 35S promoter and GUTS gene with NT1 and Pro, a tomato broad-spectrum R gene, respectively. Through freeze and thaw method, the pBI-NT1 : : Pro vector was introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105, and the explants of tomato cotyledons were then transformed. PCR test result of NPT H gene indicated that transgenic tomato lines were obtained.

Key words: tomato, root-specific promoter, expression vector, transgene
