Rice class III chitinase homologues isolated by random cloning of rice cDNAs.
We obtained seven kinds of cDNA clones putatively identified as encoding class III chitinases from cDNA libraries constructed from dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)- and benzyl adenine (BA)- treated rice callus. Putative amino acid sequences encoded in these cDNA clones were compared with those of known chitinases of other plants. Two clones coded for homologues that show high similarity to cl...
متن کاملCloning of a class III acidic chitinase from chickpea.
From chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), one ,f3-1,3-glucanase and two chitinases were purified and characterized (Vogelsang and Barz, 1993). The P-l,S-glucanase and one chitinase each with a basic isoelectric point (class I) were shown to be localized in vacuoles, whereas the second class 111 acidic chitinase revealed an extracellular localization (Mackenbrock et al., 1992). Here we report on the c...
متن کاملOn the Ratio of Rice Random Variables
The ratio of independent random variables arises in many applied problems. In this article, the distribution of the ratio X/Y is studied, when X and Y are independent Rice random variables. Ratios of such random variable have extensive applications in the analysis of noises of communication systems. The exact forms of probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) a...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of microRNAs from rice.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a growing family of small noncoding RNAs that downregulate gene expression in a sequence-specific manner. The identification of the entire set of miRNAs from a model organism is a critical step toward understanding miRNA-guided gene regulation. Rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis thaliana, two plant model species with fully sequenced genomes, are representatives of monoco...
متن کاملStructure of full-length class I chitinase from rice revealed by X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering.
The rice class I chitinase OsChia1b, also referred to as RCC2 or Cht-2, is composed of an N-terminal chitin-binding domain (ChBD) and a C-terminal catalytic domain (CatD), which are connected by a proline- and threonine-rich linker peptide. Because of the ability to inhibit fungal growth, the OsChia1b gene has been used to produce transgenic plants with enhanced disease resistance. As an initia...
