Abstract excerpt
Systemin and its precursor protein, prosystemin, play an essential role in the systemic wound response pathway of tomato plants. We report here the isolation from tomato of a novel prosystemin cDNA (prosysB) that differs from the reported cDNA sequence (prosysA) by the addition of a CAG trinucleotide. Inspection of the prosystemin genomic sequence, which was mapped to the central region of chromosome 5, indicated...
