The reproductive function of the pistil requires the production of compounds essential for pollen tube growth. A cold-plaque screening of a pollinated pistil cDNA library of Solanum tuberosum resulted in the isolation of cDNA clone cp67. Northern blot analyses revealed that cp67 is specifically expressed in potato pistils and in a limited number of plant species. The deduced CP67 protein displays similarity to long-chain zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs), although at a similarity level much lower than between other plant ADHs.Keywords: Alcohol dehydrogenase-like, pistil-specific, potato
