Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the genetic structure of lentil Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs), primers were designed on pea BBI sequences. The sequences obtained from lentil DNA, using these primers, indicate that lentil possesses at least two paralogous genes. Protein sequences translated in silico from lentil DNA sequences suggest that the two coded proteins are highly similar to Pisum trypsin inhibitor TI1 and TI6...
