The wound-induced accumulation of a transcript coding for a polypeptide of 72 amino acid residues in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings was investigated. Sequence comparison showed strong homology with Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors of cereal and legume species. The local accumulation pattern of this transcript demonstrated, after wounding various parts of the seedling, a local as well as a systemic response which implies the transmission of a wound signal specifically from the lower to the upper parts of the plant.
研究了玉米（Zea mays L.）幼苗中编码72个氨基酸残基多肽的转录本在伤口诱导下的积累情况。序列比较显示，它与谷类和豆类物种的鲍曼-伯克胰蛋白酶抑制剂具有高度同源性。在对幼苗的不同部位进行创伤后，该转录本的局部积累模式显示出局部和系统性反应，这意味着伤口信号能从植物的下部特异性地传递到上部。
