Tobacco serine/threonine protein kinase gene NrSTK enhances black shank resistance
“Tobacco serine/threonine protein kinase gene NrSTK enhances black shank resistance”, vol. 14, pp. 16415-16424, 2015.
, A serine/threonine protein kinase gene (NrSTK) was cloned from Nicotiana repanda based on the sequence of a previously isolated resistance gene analog (RGA). Expression of RGA was induced by challenge with the pathogen black shank. The NrSTK gene was predicted to encode a protein kinase that contained an ATP binding site at residues 41-69 and a serine/threonine protein kinase activation sequence spanning the region 161-173.
