title: Jasmonic acid-inducible gene expression of a Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor in potato tuber disks.
abstract: Messenger RNAs of a potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor(s) (PKPI) were present in potato disks excised from tubers stored for 14 months (old tubers) or 2 months (young tubers) after harvest, and disappeared during the aseptic culture. The PKPI mRNA accumulation was found to be induced in potato disks from the old tubers by the addition of jasmonic acid (JA) [3-oxo-2-(2'-cis-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-acetic acid].
