title: CYP76C2, an Arabidopsis thaliana cytochrome P450 gene expressed during hypersensitive and developmental cell death.
abstract: The characterisation of an Arabidopsis thaliana cytochrome P450-encoding cDNA clone, B72, preferentially expressed during the hypersensitive response (HR) provoked by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pathovar maculicola, is reported. The B72 cDNA clone corresponded to the CYP76C2 gene, which belongs to a small multigene family comprising four genes. HR-triggering bacteria harbouring different avirulence genes induced the accumulation of transcripts of this P450 gene. CYP76C2 gene expression was moreover associated with various processes leading to cell death such as leaf senescence, ageing of cell cultures, wounding as well as with treatment with the necrotising heavy metal salt, lead nitrate.
