Isolation and characterization of cgchi3, a nodule-specific gene from Casuarina glauca encoding a class III chitinase

2007-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) catalyse the hydrolysis of chitin, a homopolymer of β-1,4-linked N-acetyl- d-glucosamine residues. Plant chitinases are involved in a wide variety of processes; in particular, their expression has been found to be enhanced in symbiotic and pathogenic plant-microbe interactions. During this work we have cloned and characterized a gene encoding a class III chitinase from actinorhizal nodules...
