Two novel cDNAs from Sorghum bicolor have been cloned and sequenced. T
he sequence analysis revealed that one of the cDNAs, pSbaNS5, is a par
tial clone which may encode a putative transcription regulator, and it
s transcript was markedly upregulated by white light. The second cDNA,
pSbaNS4, may encode a putative glycoprotein of 307 amino acids. Its t
ranscript was present in etiolated tissues and was not significantly a
ltered by white light.
