title: The cloning of eggplant seedling cDNAs encoding proteins from a novel cytochrome P-450 family (CYP76).
abstract: Using a CYP75 cDNA as a probe, we have cloned and sequenced two closely related cDNAs from eggplant seedlings, which encode typical cytochrome P-450 (P450) proteins. A database search revealed that the predicted proteins share less than 40% amino acid homology with other P450 proteins, which suggests that they form a novel P450 gene family (CYP76).
