title: Legumin heterogeneity in Pisum.
abstract: Analyses of heterogeneity in legumin subunit patterns, legumin precursor polypeptides, and restriction fragments containing legumin genes have shown that Pisum (pea) genotypes vary in the extent of gene and polypeptide divergence but not in the degree of gene reiteration. Genotypes containing single and multiple alpha M subunits had the same numbers of legumin genes. The potential value of this heterogeneity in genetical analyses is outlined.
