Chitin-specific isoforms of peroxidase with molecular weights 67 and 54.7 kDa that are involved in cotton wilt-resistance were obtained from sprouts of cotton variety AN-Bayaut-2 using chromatography. Electron microscopy showed that the morphology of the fungus V. dahliae changed under the influence of the chitinspecific isoforms of peroxidase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
