limited amino acid sequence information, we were able to identify one protein speciesand obtained its cDNA. Detailed analysis of this protein is in progress and weplan to identify the possible function of this protein in disease resistance and inductionof cell death in rice.ReferencesCartwright D, Langcake P, Pryce DP, Leworthy DP, Ride JP. 1977.
