The oxidative burst constitutes one of the most rapid defense responses characterized in the plant kingdom. I have observed that four distinct elicitors of the soybean oxidative burst activate kinases of masses ∼44 kDa and ∼47 kDa. Immunological and biochemical studies reveal that the activated 44 kDa and 47 kDa kinases are MAP kinase family members. To positively identify them, I cloned five different soybean MAP kinases (GMK1 through GMK5) using RT-PCR method. All five MAP kinases contain the conserved TEY phosphorylation sites that are characteristic of MAP kinases. Using a C-terminus specific antibody, the 47 kDa kinase was identified as the GMK1. These data suggest that GMK1 is involved in the signal transduction pathways leading to th...
