Characterization of the superoxide dismutase genes of the halophyte Suaeda maritima in Japan and Egypt
The expression characteristics of superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) isozyme genes from halophytic _Suaeda marit__ima_ plants native to Japan and Egypt were analyzed using young plants grown under aseptic conditions. A phylogenetic tree based on internal transcribed spacer sequences suggested that Egyptian _S_. _maritima_ is related to European and India _S_. _maritima_, while Japanese _S_. _maritima_ belongs to a separate ...
