A cDNA clone encoding a 64-amino acid type 3 metallothionein protein, designated was up-regulated not only by high salinity, drought, and low temperature stresses, but also by heavy metal ions, abscisic acidity (ABA), ethylene, and reactive air types (ROS) in natural cotton seedlings. encodes a sort 3 vegetable MT, was characterized and isolated. Northern blot… Continue reading A cDNA clone encoding a 64-amino acid type 3 metallothionein protein,
