Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced a pea Lhcb3 gene, encoding a Photosystem II chlorophyll a/b-binding protein. Sequence analysis indicates that t he gene contains two introns and predicts a polypeptide of 265 amino a cids. The predicted polypeptide sequence is highly homologous to the p olypeptide sequences deduced from Lhcb3 genes previously characterized in tomato and barley.
