Abstract: A target fragment with a full length of 978 bp was amplified with genomic DNA of Cucumis melon L leaves as the templates and the conservative sequences of PGIP gene as the primers.This sequence had a full open reading frame encoding the polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein.The total ORF were comprised by 975 bp of deoxynucleotide encoding 325 amino acid.A conserved leucine-rich fragmenthad existed in the derived protein sequence.Sequencing analysis showed that it was 100% identical with the sequences of PGIP gene which had been cloned.RTPCR analysis showed that the PGIP gene was expressed in roots, stems, leaves and fruits of Cucumis melon L.As a result, a gene resource was provided for molecular breeding of plants.
