We have isolated two rice cDNA clones encoding Mn-SOD designed as msod1 and msod2. The two clones contain 951 and 1352 bps with sequence identity of 85.27% in full length and 98.71% in the coding region. However, the 5' regions prior to the first in-frame start codon (113bp in msod1 and 511bp in msod2) are only 59.29% identical, but the 3' untranslated regions (142bp in msod1 and 145bp in msod2) share 85.92% similarity. Genomic Southern analysis indicates that multiple genes encoding Mn-SOD in rice are multiple in nature.}, DOI = {10.6165/tai.1997.42.53} }
