Popis: We isolated a cDNA for basic class I chitinase (ChitiWb1). ChitiWb1 cDNA encodes a protein that consists of 315 amino acid residues and has a signal peptide. Northern blot analysis indicated that the class I chitinase mRNA in leaves and cultured cells of winged bean was increased by treatments with NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, mannitol or saccharose, but not with abscisic acid. Thus, class I chitinase expression was shown to be up-regulated by osmotic stress.
