| Abstract: | A full-length cDNA (pS 18) encoding the 16 kDa rice prolamin composed of 158 amino acids was sequenced. Analysis of N-terminal amino acid sequence of a major rice prolamin indicated that an 18 amino acid signal peptide was removed from 16 kDa precursor prolamin to form the 14 kDa prolamin during seed development. Synthesis of the 16 kDa precursor prolamin began around 8 days after flowering (DAF), increased remarkably at 8–11 DAF and gradually reached maximum levels with the maturation of rice seeds. |
