| Abstract | Plant chitinases play a key role in conferring resistance to environmental stresses, including attack by fungal pathogens. In the present study, we employed rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) to identify five chitinase genes in Populus canadensis Moench. Sequence alignment revealed that these genes belong to five subfamilies of chitinase genes. The full-length cDNAs of these genes ranged in size from 991 to 1358 bp and encoded proteins with mol wts from 29.5 to 40.3 kD. Five genes were grouped into three major clades based on amino acid sequences of encoded proteins. Exon-intron gene structure and protein domain analysis further supported the designation. A three-dimensional structure comparison showed the high similarity between five P. canadensis chitinases and three well-studied chitinases from other species. The expression levels of all five genes were up-regulated during Populus infection with the pathogenic fungus Marssonina brunnea, and four of them were highly induced by salt and drought stresses. Furthermore, such factors as elicitors, wounding, and low temperature also elevated the expression of these chitinase genes to varying extents. We postulated that these chitinase genes may be involved in pathways of the defense against fungal infection and function in response to various abiotic stresses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
