Chitinase is an important pathogenesis-related protein in plants, and it can accumulate
when induced by salicylic acid (SA) or other elicitors. Here, we found that chitinase mRNA …

Two different genes encoding class II chitinases from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. NC4),
Ah Chi2; 1 and Ah Chi2; 2, have been cloned. In peanut cell suspension cultures, mRNA …

Chitinase catalyses the hydrolysis of β-1, 4-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine linkages of the fungal
cell wall polymer chitin and is involved in the inducible defenses of plants. The aim of this …

Abstract cDNA for an acidic class III chitinase (ChitW1) was isolated from winged bean cells.
The chitinase was abundantly secreted at later stages of cell culture, when levels of ChitW1 …

Chitinases are ubiquitous proteins that occur in all plants in multiple isoforms. We have
isolated the ChtC2 gene encoding an unusual, basic (class I) chitinase from potato …

Chitinases are believed to play an important role in plant defence against bacterial and
fungal attack. In peanut (Arachis hypogaea) chitinase genes form a small multigene family …

Three chitinases have been shown previously to be induced upon various stresses of bean
leaves. Time course studies of mRNA accumulation of two of them (P3-and P4-chitinases) …

A rice chitinase cDNA clone was isolated using a probe derived from a barley chitinase
sequence. The accumulation of the gene transcripts in leaves and suspension cultured cells …

Transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Petit Havana) were produced by
inoculation of leaf discs with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404 harbouring a disarmed …

Chitinase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β-1, 4-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine linkages of
the fungal cell wall polymer chitin, is involved in inducible defenses of plants. A basic …
