title: Pattern of expression and characteristics of a cysteine proteinase cDNA from germinating seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L.).
abstract: A thiol proteinase cDNA clone with homology to barley aleurain and rice oryzain gamma and mammalian cathepsin H was isolated from a germinating pea (Pisum saticum L.) cotyledon library. The corresponding mRNA was present in late developing seeds, decreased in dry seeds and rose considerably as germination proceeded.
