Abstract
A number of clones containing major endosperm-specifically transcribed gene copies were selected from a cDNA library developed on the basis of barley endosperm mRNA. Approx. 30% of the recombinant clones carried sequences homologous to mRNA of various cereal storage proteins. Some of them appeared to be related to cDNA clones of wheat and barley storage proteins. The typical insert length range from 0.3 to 1.7 kB. A couple of clones among them were selected which revealed positive hydbridization with all probes used. The positive signals disappeared after stringent washing of the filters. The nucleotide sequences of two representatives of the group were determined and corresponding amino acid sequence deduced after subsequent computer analysis. The comparison with known cereal storage protein genes revealed relatively high homology level with the central part of wheat high molecular weight (HMW) glutenine subunit genes. The fact suggests the cloned gene to belong the barley D-hordein family.
