Abstract

Total RNA isolated from control as well as stressed rice seedlings was reverse transcribed and subjected to radioactive PCR for differential display. A partial cDNA corresponding to moisture stress was isolated and sequenced. The clone showed homology to lysine transport protein/lysine specific permease.
