Bands harboring chitinase activity were cut from gels and sent for identification by LC/MS/MS. The plant treatment and the tissues from which the proteins were extracted are listed. The proteins were either heated to 55°C or boiled before loading on gel. The numbers of the bands match the activity bands marked in Figure 1. The chitinases identified and the level of confidence is listed (when two proteins identified their % of confidence is listed respectively). The amino acid sequences, binding domains and other information for each of the proteins is described (Shoresh and Harman, 2008a).
