“…Hence, the expression pattern of family 3 α-L-arabinofuranosidase described below was also summarized including β-xylosidase and putative α-L-arabinofuranosidase/β-xylosidase. cDNA clones of the enzymes were isolated from barley (Lee et al, 2003), tomato (Itai et al, 2003), Arabidopsis (Goujon et al, 2003;Minic et al, 2004Minic et al, , 2006, Japanese pear (Tateishi et al, 2005a), radish (Raphanus sativus) (Kotake et al, 2006), peach (Hayama et al, 2006), strawberry (Bustamante et al, 2006), and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) (Xiong et al, 2007). They constitute a small gene family and the expression of each isozyme was found in various organs and developmental stages.…”
