In order to identify the function of glyoxalase gene in banana
a full length cDNA of glyoxalase gene named MaGLO 14 had been isolated based on the partial sequence cloned by SSH previously from postharvest banana fruit. MaGLO 14 contained a 1 074 bp ORF and encoded 358 amino acids. NCBI Blastx results showed that the deduced amino acid of MaGLO 14 shared identities of 82%

82% with Picea sitchensis(ABK22263)
Vitis vinifera (CBI23235)
Citrus paradisi (CAB09799)
Gossypium hirsutum (ACJ11750)
and 〖WTBX〗Ricinus communis(EEF43857)
respectively. Tissuespecific expression results indicated that MaGLO 14 constitutively expressed in banana root
stem
leaf
flower and fruit. The expression levels were upregulated under NaCl
chilling and ethepon treatments. The expression levels were downregulated under drought and waterlogging treatments. And the MaGLO 14 transgenic tobacco leaves showed enhanced salt-tolerance.
