^aIntrons were identified by comparing the sequence of the COP1 cDNA identified using RT-PCR with COP1 genomic DNA.

^bNucleotide position shown is relative to start codon.

^cSplice sites underlined were not identified as boundary elements by NetPlantGene intron prediction software.

^dSequence of 3′ boundary of intron 7′ from the COP1 gene in lip1 peas.
