Auxin can induce adventitious rooting. Synthetic auxin, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), effectively promoted the rooting in Cinnamomum kanehirae. The peroxidase (POX) activity significantly decreased in the IBA-treated tissues as compared with the control. Hence, I suggest that the inhibition on POX activity may lead to the redifferentiation processes induced by IBA, which produces the new root primordia during the formation of adventitious roots. On this investigation, I cloned POX cDNA from the young roots. Degenerate primers were designed from the conservative regions of other published POX to amplify the expectant DNA fragment. Full-length cDNA of the POX gene designated CKPX1 and CKPX3 were cloned by the method of 5'and 3' RACE. The deduced amino acid of CKPX1 and CKPX3 were compared with the previously reported POX and showed between 40% and 60% identity with those plant species. Further studies on the promoter elements of CKPX3 were found out that elements related to auxin response, lignification, pathogen invasion and stress response. The results suggest that CKPX3 may be involved in the regulate process of adventitious rooting and defense against pathogens and environment stress.
