“…In addition, comparison of the immunological relationship between plant and animal HMG proteins (Spiker and Everett, 1987;Vanderbilt and Anderson, 1985) as well as amino-terminal peptide sequence analysis (Spiker, 1988) i nd icated su bsta ntial differences between the major plant and animal HMG proteins. Isolation and partial characterization of HMG proteins from other plants such as maize, barley, Arabidopsis thaliana and pea largely confirmed the results obtained from the wheat germ proteins (Grasser eta/., 1991;Moehs eta/., 1988;UII eta/., 1991;Vincentz and Gigot, 1985).…”
