Abstract
A genomic clone encoding the rice endosperm major globulin (Q-globulin ) with an apparent molecular mass of 26 kDa was isolated, and its nucl eotide (nt) sequence and transcription start point (tsp) were determin ed. The tsp was identical to that of the gene encoding the wheat high- molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunit. The consensus '-300 element' and an A + T-rich sequence exist upstream from the TATA box in the 5'- Banking region. A nt sequence of about 130 bp in the 5'-flanking regi on was found to be markedly homologous to those of the genes encoding the wheat HMW glutenin subunit and barley D hordein.
