Abstract:
Expression of a tomato peroxidase gene that is constitutively expressed only in roots was induced in stems and leaves as a result of mechanical wounding. However, wound-induction of TPX1 transcript accumulation in leaves was limited to the mid-rib. No TPX1 transcript was detected in the lamina of the leaf after wounding. Peroxidase isozyme studies indicated the presence of a unique basic isoform in stems after wounding.
