Abstract excerpt
The most abundant proteins present in maize (Zea mays L.) embryos are saline-soluble globulins. A Mr 45,000 globulin component, designated GLB2, is encoded by the Glb2 gene. A cDNA clone corresponding to Glb2 was used as radiolabeled probe to examine the expression of Glb2 in developing embryos and other maize tissues. Glb2 transcripts accumulate during embryo development and are not detectable in germinating...
