Abstract

One approach to the problem of differential gene expression is to study a tissue which makes large amounts of one or a few specific gene products. The developing seeds of legumes, for example broad bean (Vicia faba L.) or pea (Pisum sativum L.) offer an attractive system for such a study. During development these seeds accumulate large amounts of tissue specific globulins which consist of two high molecular weight proteins, legumin (mol. wt. 320,000; Bailey and Boulter, 1970) and vicilin (mol. wt. 186,000; Danielsson, 1949). The corresponding proteins in the two species are immunologically closely related (Millerd et al, 1971).
