Abstract

Isolation, cloning and molecular characterization of somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase genes (SERK) from plum (Prunus salicina) and peach (Prunus persica) is reported in this paper. Two SERK genes were isolated from peach and one gene was isolated from plum. SERK 1 consisted of 822 bp in Prunus persica and 828 bp in Prunus salicina. The SERK 2 primer was able to generate an 1881 bp fragment from peach and it was found to code 626 amino acids. The conserved domains of these genes were that of catalytic domain of protein kinases.
