Abstract
Two distinct cDNA clones (IPI1 and IPI2) encoding IPI were isolated from Nicotiana tabacum. In situ expression of isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase-1 (IPI1)- and IPI2-green fluorescent protein fusion constructs revealed that IPI1 and IPI2 were localized in chloroplast and cytosol, respectively. The level of IPI1 mRNA was increased under high-salt and high-light stress conditions, while that of IPI2 mRNA was increased under high-salt and cold stress conditions. Both IPI transcripts were increased in an abscisic acid-independent manner. This is the first report of a cytosolic IPI. The results indicated that two distinct IPIs were differentially induced in response to stress.
