A cDNA clone encoding cyclophilin (CyP), was isolated from Solanum commersonii by utilizing subtractive hybridization. The corresponding gene was found to be constitutively expressed in S. commersonii leaves. However, when the plants were exposed to low temperature, abscisic acid (ABA), drought, and wounding the amount of the cyclophilin mRNA was markedly increased. In addition, the gene was shown to be responsive to salicylic acid and pathogen challenge, suggesting a role in several different stress responses in plants.Keywords: Stress, cyclophilin, Solanum commersonii, subtractive cloning
