Abstract
Em-like proteins are present in dry seeds of several species playing a
role in the desiccation tolerance of the embryo. A novel Em gene (BnE
m6) of Brassica napus was identified using a PCR-walking method. BnEm6
shares high amino acid sequence identity with other known Em proteins
and a similar pattern of expression.
