B) Tomato genomic sequence containing the mature LTP SM-22 cds. Part of the gene coding for the LTP SM-22 is shown. The
sequence has been deposited at the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) with the accession number LN810550. Exon sequences are reported in capital
letters; intron sequence is reported in small letters. Bold nucleotides correspond to the region where the primers used for the first genomic amplification (TomGe-LTP_F and TomGe-
LTP_R, see Table 1) were designed (see also panel A). Sequences in light gray background correspond to the region where the primers used for the 30-RACE analysis (TomSM-22_F
and TomSM-22_FA) were designed. Nucleotides with gray background correspond to the degenerated primer TOM22_4_LTP_R used for final PCR on genomic DNA in couple with
primer TomGe-LTP_F. Underlined nucleotides correspond to primers SM4_pET_F and SM4_pET_R (joining the two exons), respectively, used for amplifying the mature protein.
