Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BjCHI1
  • Gene Name: chitinase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brassica juncea

Functional Descriptions:

  • Brassica juncea chitinase BjCHI1 inhibits growth of fungal phytopathogens and agglutinates Gram-negative bacteria.
  • Brassica juncea BjCHI1 is a plant chitinase with two chitin-binding domains.
  • BjCHI1 and its derivative with one chitin-binding domain showed anti-fungal activities against phytopathogens, Colletotrichum truncatum, C. acutatum, Botrytis cinerea, and Ascochyta rabiei.
  • Suggesting that BjCHI1 interacts with the carbohydrate components of the Gram-negative bacterial cell wall. Retention of chitinase and bacterial agglutination activities in transplastomic tobacco extracts implicates that BjCHI1 is potentially useful against both fungal and bacterial phytopathogens in agriculture.
