  • Title: A basic class I chitinase expression in winged bean is up-regulated by osmotic stress.
    Author: Tateishi Y, Umemura Y, Esaka M.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 2001 Jul; 65(7):1663-8. PubMed ID: 11515555.
    Abstract:
    We isolated a cDNA for basic class I chitinase (ChitiWb1). ChitiWb1 cDNA encodes a protein that consists of 315 amino acid residues and has a signal peptide. Northern blot analysis indicated that the class I chitinase mRNA in leaves and cultured cells of winged bean was increased by treatments with NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, mannitol or saccharose, but not with abscisic acid. Thus, class I chitinase expression was shown to be up-regulated by osmotic stress.
