Isolation of a Brassica napus L. cDNA encoding a putative high-mobility-group MHG I/Y protein.

Abstrakt

A cDNA encoding a high-mobility-group protein has been isolated from a microspore-specific library of Brassica napus. The 930 bp cDNA contains a 612 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 203 amino acids residues exhibiting significant homology to HMG-I/Y protein from Arabidopsis thaliana (62%).
