Wong, N.K. Mak, W.T. Choi, Patrick T.W. Law] Trichosanthin, a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein, is highly expressed in the root tuber of Trichosanthes kirilowii when grown under normal greenhouse conditions. The expression level of trichosanthin was significantly reduced when the seeds were germinated and subsequently grown in a sterile environment. However, co-cultivation of the sterile T. kirilowii with microorganisms results in an accumulated level of trichosanthin suggesting a possible role of trichosanthin in defence against pathogens. © Oxford University Press SHORT COMMUNICATION nationallicence Trichosanthin nationallicence Trichosanthes kirilowii nationallicence expression levels nationallicence fungi nationallicence Wong Ricky N.S.
