Abstract: Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that OsLEA19a,a late embryogenesis abundant(LEA) protein gene,was induced by water deficit and salt stress,which sugGested a role for OsLEA19aprotein in water deficit and salt stress protection. The cDNA sequence of OsLEA19awas cloned from rice by RT-PCR. Bioinformatics analysis showed that OsLEA19aencoded a protein of 200 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 20. 48 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5. 89. OsLEA19aprotein contains a Pfam: LEA_4 domain architecture at position 5-48, three α-helical domains and without β-sheet domain. In silico predictions showed OsLEA19aprotein was strongly hydrophilic. The phylogenetic relationship between related group 3 LEA proteins from different plants was analyzed, which showed that OsLEA19awas more closely related to group 3 LEA proteins from monocots than from dicots. The amino acid sequence of OsLEA19ashows 48%-57% sequence identity with other members of group 3 LEA proteins from monocots.
