Cv. Tainong 57) leaves were identified and characterized by an RNA-cast polyacrylamide gel. Among these ribonucleases, five were major isoforms, and were designated to A-E groups, ranged in size from 14 to 47 kilodalton. They were consistently expressed in root, stem and leaf. In addition, a novel RNase isoform, designated F group, with a molecular mass about 6000 dalton, expressed specifically in the aging leaf. In this paper the biochemical properties of six groups RNase isoforms were characterized with catalytic ions, pH value, denaturing reagent of SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol. DO -10.6165/tai.1995.40.183
