Abstract excerpt

The Li locus in white clover controls the presence of cyanogenic beta-glucosidase (linamarase) activity in leaf tissue, such that plants homozygous for the 'null' allele (li) have no linamarase activity in this tissue. The isolation of a cDNA clone from linamarase mRNA is described. The cDNA clon...
