| Abstract | Defensins are cysteine-rich small proteins found in plants and animals. Esr-6 (embryo surrounding region-6), which is a kind of plant defensin gene, plays an important role in nutrition, defense, and signaling of embryo. In this study, Esr-6 genes in three Turkish maize varieties (TMVs) such as Safak, Sakarya, and Seker were sequenced and characterized. Open reading frame (ORF) and protein length of Esr-6 was found as 324 bp and 111 amino acids, respectively. All TMVs contained gamma-thionin family (PF00304) domain, and subcellular localizations were predicted as extracellular. Predicted signal peptide, mature protein, and acidic pro-domain were identified in all TMVs. Four most conserved motifs were identified, but only motif 1 was found to be related with gamma-thionin family. Eight conserved cysteine residues, which are the characteristics of defensins, were detected in all TMVs. In phylogenetic analysis, Esr-6 proteins were clearly diverged from other plant defensins with the highest bootstrap value (100 %). Predicted 3D structures of Esr-6 proteins were similar to each other, including one α-helix and two β-sheets. Conserved cysteine residues, including Cys51, Cys55, Cys66, Cys73, Cys75, and Cys79, were detected in 3D structures of all TMVs. Our study showed that Esr-6 genes and their product are well conserved among TMVs. |

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.
