[Ginkgo biloba defensin] The gene encoding this peptide has been isolated from Ginkgo biloba (Shen et al, 2005). Three-dimensional structure modeling shows that Gbd strongly resembles a defensin from tobacco (NaD1). Gbd expression is upregulated by wounding and methyl jasmonate treatments, suggesting that Gbd may be involved in plant resistance or tolerance to pathogens during wounding.
