Molecular Cloning and Ethylene-Inducible Expression ofChib1 Chitinase from Soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merr.)

Symbiosis-stimulated chitinase isoenzymes of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Often, nodule formation by a Isoforms of endochitinase in soybean were studied in given bacterial strain is restricted to only a few host plant relation to root symbiosis. Five selected cultivars difgenera, and varieties of a given legume species may differ fering in their nodulation potential were inoculated in nodule fo...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr].

In this chapter we describe an Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation method of soybean that utilizes mature half seeds and regeneration from the cotyledonary node region. This method results in fertile transformed soybean plants and transgenic seed in approximately 9 months. Using mature half seeds as starting material has proven to be a reliable method that does not require additional wound...

Molecular cloning of low-temperature-inducible ribosomal proteins from soybean.

Three ribosomal protein genes induced by low-temperature treatment were isolated from soybean. GmRPS13 (742 bp) encodes a 17.1 kDa protein which has 95% identity with the 40S ribosomal protein S13 of Panax ginseng (AB043974). GmRPS6 (925 bp) encodes a 28.1 kDa protein which has 94% identity with the 40S ribosomal protein S6 of Asparagus officinalis (AJ277533). GmRPL37 (494 bp) encodes a 10.7 kD...

Characterization of an Acidic Chitinase from Seeds of Black Soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr Tainan No. 3)

Using 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-N,N',N″-triacetylchitotrioside (4-MU-GlcNAc3) as a substrate, an acidic chitinase was purified from seeds of black soybean (Glycine max Tainan no. 3) by ammonium sulfate fractionation and three successive steps of column chromatography. The purified chitinase was a monomeric enzyme with molecular mass of 20.1 kDa and isoelectric point of 4.34. The enzyme catalyzed...
