Abstract
CDNA for an acidic class III chitinase (ChitW1) was isolated from winged bean cells. The chitinase was abundantly secreted at later stages of cell culture, when levels of ChitW1 mRNA were also high. The gene was strongly expressed in roots, but a class I chitinase was strongly expressed in leaves.Keywords
