Abstract excerpt
To investigate genetic mechanisms acting on multigene family in plants, we analyzed sequence variation in the rbcS gene of 13 species of Triticeae and one species each of related tribes (Bromeae and Aveneae). A total of 36 rbcS genes were analyzed. Based on dimorphism in the length of intron, the rbcSs of investigated species were classified into two subfamilies A and B. The difference in intron length was caused...
