Abstract
A cDNA clone that reveals a high level of polymorphism between wheat varieties was isolated from a wheat cDNA library. When hybridized to DraI-, EcoRV- and HindIII digested DNA this clone, gbx3832, enables us to distinguish 42 different patterns among 48 varieties: 37 varieties are clearly identified, the remaining 11 are divided into five groups. Base-sequence analysis of the clone reveals 72–74% sequence identity to mRNAs encoding thaumatin-like proteins from different cereals.
