Seed chitinases

2002-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Specific chitinases accumulate in seeds of many species as part of their normal developmental programme. Some chitinases can also be induced in developing and germinating seeds in response to microbial attack. All known seed isoforms belong to classes I, II, IV and VII, which are encoded by Chia genes, as well as to the more divergent class III encoded by Chib genes. The study of seed-specific chitinases has contr...
