The Vicia faba lipoxygenase gene VfLOX1 is expressed in the root nodule parenchyma
Abstract
A full-length cDNA encoding the broad bean lipoxygenase VfLOX1 was isolated from a nodule cDNA library. The VfLOX1 gene was strongly expressed in nodules, and only weakly in roots. VfLOX1 transcripts were localized in the nodule parenchyma and in the cells surrounding the root stele.
