NOVEL STORAGE PROTEIN - ENCODING GENE AND USES THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention provides a novel isolated nucleic acid (SEQ. ID. No 1) encoding a y-type high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin polypeptide (SEQ. ID. No 2) of about (43-48) kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE. This sequence is characterized by a truncated central repetitive domain (delection of 215 amino acids at position 274 and deletion of 6 amino acids at position 540).Also provided are recombinant proteins, plant parts, food products and non-food products produced therewith.
