Abstract excerpt
Wounding of poplar trees leads to the accumulation of several mRNA species that encode proteins with putative defensive function. One class of wound-induced poplar RNA (win3) has amino acid sequence similarity to Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors. Northern blots and cDNA sequencing show that several win3 mRNAs accumulate in the uninjured leaves of wounded trees. We report further characterization of the win3 family...
