• Information
  • Symbol: RC24
  • MSU: LOC_Os06g51060
  • RAPdb: Os06g0726200
• Publication
  • Regulation, expression and function of a new basic chitinase gene in rice Oryza sativa L., 1996, Plant Mol Biol.
• Genbank accession number
  • X87109
• Key message
  • A basal level of RC24 transcripts was detected in rice root and stem tissues, but not in leaf tissues
  • RC24 protein expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited chitinase activity and strongly inhibited bacterial growth
  • RC24 transcript accumulation was also observed in intact leaf tissues upon wounding, Transgenic rice plants containing the RC24/GUS gene fusion further confirmed that the RC24 gene showed a tissue-specific expression pattern and that transcription of the RC24 propmoter was sensitively and rapidly activated by wounding
