The amino acid, proline (PRO), may have an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress. To study the effect of drought stress on PRO content of pine tissues, we measured free PRO by high pressure liquid chromatography in control ( -0.4 MPa) and drought-stressed ( -0.8, -1.0, -1.3, -1.6 MPa)
An arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) was purified from differentiating xylem of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and the N-terminal sequence used to identify a cDNA clone. The protein, PtaAGP3, was not coded for by any previously identified AGP-like genes. Moreover, PtaAGP3 was abundantly and
Two genes preferentially expressed in differentiating xylem of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) were cloned from cDNA and genomic libraries and designated PtX3H6 and PtX14A9. Transcripts of PtX3H6 and PtX14A9 are very abundant in differentiating xylem, less abundant in needles, and very low or
Differential expression of cell wall proteins during plant development and in response to biotic or abiotic stress suggests that these proteins may contribute in different ways to plant cell wall architecture. Because the wood of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is highly specialized in the formation
Extensins (EXTs) are a family of plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) that are implicated to play important roles in plant growth, development, and defense. Structurally, EXTs are characterized by the repeated occurrence of serine (Ser) followed by three to five prolines (Pro)
A cDNA clone (pLP6) of a gene which is repressed under water deficit was isolated from a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) cDNA library and characterized. The predicted polypeptide encoded by pLP6 bears strong resemblance to a number of Class I chitinases. However, LP6 lacks most of the amino-terminal
A pine extensin-like protein (PELP) has been localized in metabolically active cells of differentiating xylem and in mature wood of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). This proline-rich glycosylated protein was purified from cell walls of differentiating xylem by differential solubility and gel
