Three polyphenol oxidases from hybrid poplar are differentially expressed during development and after wounding and elicitor treatment

Three polyphenol oxidases from hybrid poplar are differentially expressed during development and after wounding and elicitor treatment - Physiologia Plantarum, 122(3), p.344-353, 2004 .

The expression of three polyphenol oxidase (PPO; EC 1.10.3.1)genes was investigated in hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa · P. deltoides). PtdPPO1 was previously isolated as a wound- and herbivore-inducible PPO (Constabel et al. Plant Physiol 124: 285-295, 2000), whereas PtdPPO2 and PtdPPO3 are two novel hybrid poplar PPO genes isolated from stem and root tissue, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed that the three PPOs were 60-66
