This report describes the cloning of a cDNA from an Arabidopsis
thaliana suspension culture cDNA library that encodes a
potential 9-cis-epoxy-carotenoid dioxygenase, a key
enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of abscisic acid. The predicted protein
sequence of this cDNA, termed AtNCED1, shares conserved regions with those
of published epoxy-carotenoid dioxygenase enzymes from maize and tomato. At
NECD1 mRNA was present in turbid shoot tissues and rapid dehydration
resulted in accumulation of AtNCED1 mRNA.Key words:
ABA biosynthesis, Arabidopsis thaliana,
9-cis-epoxy-carotenoid dioxygenase.
