title: Expression of AP 3, 4 and 5 isophytochromes in etiolated oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.).
abstract: Type 1 phytochrome from etiolated oat seedlings was digested with V-8 protease. Microsequencing of a 13 kDa fragment yielded a sequence of 31 amino acids. The fragment starting with the alanine residue at position 427 of the entire phytochrome amino acid sequence revealed a heterogeneity (threonine, alanine and asparagine) at position 10. This demonstrates that the phytochrome type A genes AP3, 4 and 5 are expressed as proteins.
