  • Title: Pine stilbene synthase cDNA, a tool for probing environmental stress.
    Author: Schwekendiek A, Pfeffer G, Kindl H.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1992 Apr 13; 301(1):41-4. PubMed ID: 1451785.
    Abstract:
    Stilbene synthase cDNAs were isolated from a pine (Pinus sylvestris) cDNA library. Poly(A)+RNA required for the preparation was obtained from young seedlings challenged with Botrytis cinerea. A full-length cDNA encoding pinosylvin-forming stilbene synthase was sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequence was compared with sequences of resveratrol-forming stilbene synthases. The cDNA coding for the key enzyme of pinosylvin formation is a valuable tool for detecting early effects of environmental stress in pine needles.
