In the present study, a full-length cDNA encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase gene has been cloned from sugarcane (named GZ-ACO). Two primers were designed for coding the ORF in the full-length cDNA of GZ-ACO gene from sugarcane. PCR amplification was performed with sugarcane DNA template, and a fragment of 1 104 bp (GZ34)was obtained. GZ34 was labeled with [α-32p] dCTP as the probe and used for hybridization after cloning and sequencing.Southern blotting analysis indicated that there were at least three other sequences, which weakly hybridized with the GZ34. Northern analysis showed that GZ34 was strongly induced by treatment with IAA, BA, ethephon, LiC1 and cold stress, respectively. As a contrast, the mRNA for ACO gene was at lower levels for both the light-grown and dark-grown plants without additional treatment. There were two transcripts in the dark-grown plants and three transcripts in the treatments with IAA, BA and cold stress, but there was only one transcript in ethephon treatment. It showed that GZ-ACO might be a gene connected with ethylene formation and take part in response to the induction of plant hormone and environmental stress.
