Plasma membrane localization of soybean matrix metalloproteinase differentially induced by senescence and abiotic stress
We isolated and characterized a stress-inducible gene, designated as Slti114, encoding matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in soybean. The derived amino acid sequences of Slti114 show the 69 % homology with MMP2 from
