Over-expression of plant 14-3-3 proteins in tobacco: enhancement of the plasmalemma K+ conductance of mesophyll cells.

Two cDNA clones encoding 14-3-3 homologous proteins were isolated from Vicia faba. Deduced amino acid sequences share different degrees of homology with other plant 14-3-3 proteins. Both clones, under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter, were transformed into tobacco plants.
