Partial cDNAs sequences for arginine decarboxylase (Pvadc), S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (Pvsamdc) and spermidine synthase (Pvspds) were isolated from the bean Phaseolus vulgaris using primers designed from conserved regions of enzymes belonging to plant species. Sequence analysis showed that the Pvadc, Pvsamdc and Pvspds genes were most closely related to the orthologous genes from Glycine max, Phaseolus lunatus and Pisum sativum, respectively. The expression patterns of the genes, together with that of ornithine decarboxylase (Pvodc), were analysed in young and mature leaves, stems, roots, root tips, petals, stigma, ovaries, filaments and anthers of bean plants. Pvsamdc was found to be expressed at similar levels in all tissues. The other transcripts showed tissue specific expression. Pvadc was barely expressed in petals and not at all in roots tips, Pvspds was mainly expressed in roots, stigma and filaments, and Pvodc was detected only in roots.
