Figure 1From: Four plant defensins from an indigenous South African Brassicaceae species display divergent activities against two test pathogens despite high sequence similarity in the encoding genesThe cDNA sequences encoding for Hc-AFPs , isolated by PCR from cDNA generated from H. coronopifolia stem, leaf, flower, siliques and seed tissue. The Hc-AFP defensins are encoded within the first 240 nucleotides for Hc-AFP1 and 3 and the first 243 nucleotides for Hc-AFP2 and 4. The deduced amino acid sequence encoded by each gene is indicated beneath its represented sequence.Back to article page
