Defense Response in Slash Pine: Chitosan Treatment Alters the Abundance of Specific mRNAs

Informally Refereed

Abstract

We used differential display to identify chitosan responsive cDNAs in slashpine cell cultures. Two clones that showed increased mRNA abundance had sequence similarity to genes with roles in major plant defense responses, clone 18 to cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, and clone 30 to chitinase.
