title: The characterization of cDNA clones coding for wheat storage proteins.
abstract: Poly(A)+ RNA isolated from the developing wheat endosperm var. Chinese Spring, has been used as template for the construction of a cDNA library. Within the library, clones have been identified by in vitro translation of hybrid-selected mRNA which encode alpha/beta gliadin related sequences and gamma-gliadin related sequences. The DNA sequence of one such clone has been determined and it shows homology with that of a clone encoding a barley storage protein, B-hordein. The sequence includes a tandem DNA repeat which is discussed in relation to the generation of diversity within the gliadins.
