Gene: Sopen06g018430

General Information

Description encodes an EP3 chitinase that is expressed during somatic embryogenesis in nursing cells surrounding the embryos but not in embryos themselves. The gene is also expressed in mature pollen and growing pollen tubes until they enter the receptive synergid, but not in endosperm and integuments as in carrot. Post-embryonically, expression is found in hydathodes, stipules, root epidermis and emerging root hairs. | homolog of carrot EP3-3 chitinase (EP3) | FUNCTIONS IN: chitinase activity | INVOLVED IN: somatic embryogenesis, plant-type hypersensitive response | LOCATED IN: cell wall | EXPRESSED IN: 18 plant structures | EXPRESSED DURING: 6 growth stages | CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Chitin-binding, type 1, conserved site , Glycoside hydrolase, family 19 , Chitin-binding, type 1 , Glycoside hydrolase, family 19, catalytic | BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: Chitinase family protein
