“…In addition to the demonstration of homologous sequences in Antirrhinum described here, related proteins have been identified in Betula verrucosa (Engel et al, 1997;Twardosz et al, 1997), Olea europaea (Batanero et al, 1997), Artemisia vulgaris (Engel et al, 1997), Cynodon dactylon (Knox et al, 1992), Phleum pratense, and Lilium longiflorum (Engel et al, 1997;Twardosz et al, 1997), and multiple types were identified in Brassica rapa and B. napus (Toriyama et al, 1995;Lim et al, 1996) during the course of this study. The partial amino acid sequence from the second pollen protein purified in this study, PP-A, indicates that it, too, is a member of this protein family.…”
