Molecular characterization and expression patterns of AmLEA5(AAW31666.1) under abiotic stresses which cloned from cold-and drought-stressed Ammopiptanthus mongolicus by a modified solid subtractive hybridization method were reported in this study.Bioinformatic analysis showed that the gene encoded a group 5 late embryogenesis abundant protein(LEA).The overall length of AmLEA5 was 693 bp,and the cDNA contained a 297 bp ORF encoding a polypeptide of 98 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 10.6 kDa....
