Abstract excerpt

Nine different actin DNA sequences were isolated from the common potato, Solanum tuberosum, and the nucleotide sequence of five actin loci and of two allelic variants are presented. Unlike the wide variation in intron position among animal actin genes, the potato actin genes have three introns si...
