Abstract
As part of a programme to identify seed coat-specific transcripts in pea (P isum sativum cv. Finale) using the differential display method, we identifi ed and isolated a cDNA encoding a MADS box transcription factor. The predic ted peptide contains 247 amino acids with the conserved N-terminal MADS box and is closely related to the AP1/AGL9 subfamily of the MADS box proteins. In addition to weak expression in petals, stamens and carpels, this MADS b ox mRNA is specifically expressed in the seed coat during seed development.
