This paper presents a new method of gene expression analysis: frequency analysis of RT-PCR products obtained with degenerate primers (FAPP). The main advantage of the new approach compared to the present methods of gene expression analysis is that it is applicable to non-model plant objects whose gene sequences are unknown. The advantages and disadvantages of FAPP are described in detail using data on calcium-dependent protein kinase, stilbene synthase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene expression in two cell cultures of Vitis amurensis. We compared the expression profiles obtained by FAPP to those obtained by real-time PCR and expressed sequence tags.
