Mol Plant Microbe Interact

USDA Forest Service, Southern Institute of Forest Genetics, Harrison Experimental Forest, Saucier MS 39574, USA.

Published: January 1997

We used differential display to identify chitosan responsive cDNAs in slash pine 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.
