Chitinase catalyses the hydrolysis of β-1,4-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine linkages of the fungal cell wall polymer chitin and is involved in the inducible defenses of plants. The aim of this research was to isolate and clone chitinase cDNAs from the seed of winged bean. Chitinase gene fragments were isolat...
