Pennisetum glaucum cDNA library is constructed to isolate superoxide dismutase cDNA
clone (PgCuZnSOD) of 798bp comprising 5′ UTR (111bp), an ORF (459bp) and 3′ UTR
(228bp). Deduced protein of 152 amino acids (16.7 kDa) with an estimated isoelectric point
of 5.76 shared highest homology to cytoplasmic CuZnSODs from monocots ie, maize, rice.
