Abstract

We have purified three proteins from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds which synergistically inhibit the growth of fungi measured in a microtiter well assay. The proteins are a 26-kDa chitinase, a 30-kDa ribosome-inactivating protein, and a 32-kDa (1-3)-beta-glucanase. Full-length cDNAs encoding them were isolated and sequenced to determine the complete primary structures of the proteins. Northern hybridizations with the cDNAs as probes showed that the corresponding mRNAs accumulate differentially during seed development and germination. Chitinase mRNA accumulates to high levels in aleurone cells during late seed development and early germination, while high levels of mRNA encoding the ribosome-inactivating protein accumulate only in the starchy endosperm during late seed development. The glucanase mRNA accumulates to low levels during seed development and to higher levels in aleurone and seedling tissues during germination. Southern hybridizations showed that the three proteins are encoded by small families of three to eight genes. Their biological roles and potential use in genetic engineering studies are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
