The tissue-spesific expression pattern of the members of two superfamily – SlERF5 and
SlWRKY33 were studied in tomato plants by meanes of immunoblottings. Western hybridization with
specific polyclonal antibodies revealed that during water deficit SlERF5/AP2, and SlWRKY33A and
SlWRKY33B were intensively expressed in variety of tissues of tomato plants. ERF5/AP2 is
expressed in shoot apex, young leaves, roots and stems, while SlWRKY33 A and B are ekpressed in
the same tissues as above and in axillary buds.
Key words: Solanum lycopersicum, transcription factors, immunoblotting, antibody, ERF
