The gene of Zinnia elegans L. coding for S-like extracellular ribonuclease (ZRNase II) was used to produce transgenic tobacco plants with an increased ribonuclease activity. The protein-coding part of ZRNase II included the signal peptide sequence so the transgenic protein was located extracellularl...
