Ascorbate Peroxidase Gene Transcripts in Pine: Expression in Oxidative Stress

9631151 Winicov该奖项支持与拉脱维亚（前苏联）的国际合作，研究在酸雨和臭氧保护方面对森林树木至关重要的基因/酶。 在这项合作中，Pis将表征一种自由基解毒酶抗坏血酸过氧化物酶的基因/转录本/酶。 他们将使用PCR、基因克隆和DNA测序技术。 这项工作将在对拉脱维亚具有生态和经济重要性的松树上进行。 这些数据也将与美国的林业利益有关。

9631151 Winicov This award supports an international collaboration with Latvia (former USSR) to study genes/enzymes that are important in forest trees with respect to acid rain and ozone protection. The Pis in this collaboration will characterize genes/transcripts/enzymes for a radical detoxifying enzyme, ascorbate peroxidase. They will use PCR, gene cloning and DNA sequencing technologies. The work will be conducted with pine trees (pinus strobus) which are of ecological and economical importance for Latvia. The data will be relevant also for US forestry interests.
