Abstract
Summary: A cDNA clone, WRTLP2, encoding an open reading frame of 173 amino acids, was recovered from a cDNA library of winter rye (Secale cereale L. Musketeer). The amino acid sequence deduced from the cloned cDNA exhibits very high sequence similarity (70-95%) with those of extracellular and low molecular weight thaumatin-like proteins of other cereals. It was possible to overexpress this isolated cDNA in Escherichia coli and it was found that the encoded protein of this clone exhibited antifungal activities against several fungal strains
