Abstract

Nucleotide-sequence analysis of a complementary-DNA clone for convicilin, one of the storage proteins from pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds, shows it to be homologous with the 7S legume seed storage proteins vicilin, conglycinin and phaseolin. Convicilin is more similar to vicilin than to phaseolin or to conglycinin. Significant areas of sequence difference are discussed.
