Abstract excerpt
The hordeins comprise the major prolamin storage proteins of barley. Two major and one minor gene families encode these alcohol-soluble proteins. The Hor-2 gene family encoding the B-hordeins has been estimated to contain 15-30 copies. Although several genes encoding B-hordeins have been cloned and sequenced, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for the generation of the enormous genetic variability...
