Wounding in higher plants leads to an increased synthesis of specific messenger RNAs. A
cDNA clone complementary to a wound-induced message from potato tubers was used to …

When the lower leaves of hybrid poplar trees are mechanically wounded, several novel
mRNAs accumulate in the unwounded upper leaves (Parsons TJ, Bradshaw HD, Gordon …

cDNAs for several transcripts that accumulate systemically in response to mechanical
wounding in a hybrid poplar have been cloned. The corresponding mRNAs become …

Regulated transgene expression, whereby a promoter is specifically activated in response to
pathogen invasion or pest attack, has distinct advantages for genetic engineering …

Wounding hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa× P. deltoides) trees results in the expression
of novel wound-inducible (win) mRNAs thought to encode proteins involved in defense …

Wounding of poplar trees leads to the accumulation of several mRNA species that encode
proteins with putative defensive function. One class of wound-induced poplar RNA (win3) …

Revised Manuscript Received June 9, 1992 abstract: Barwin is a basic protein with p/above
10 and molecular mass 13.7 kDa isolated from aqueous extracts of barley seed. The …

Expression of a chimeric potato Inhibitor II-CAT gene in transgenic tobacco plants was
enhanced 50-fold when leaf tissue was floated on solutions containing 1% sucrose. The …

Genetic analysis of the wound response pathway in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)
indicates that prosystemin and systemin are upstream components of a defensive signaling …

Mechanical damage to leaf tissue causes an increase in abscisic acid (ABA) which in turn
activates the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA). The resulting higher endogenous JA levels …
