“…This size range was what would be expected of cDNAs containing the coding sequence for S-RNases (except for the region upstream of C2) plus the 3Ј-non-coding sequence and the poly(A) tail. This major DNA band for each S haplotype was cloned and individual colonies from each transformation were analyzed by DNA gel blotting using a radiolabeled probe containing cDNAs for S 1 -, S 2 -, and S 3 -RNases of P. inflata (Ai et al, 1990). Under low stringency membrane washing conditions, cDNA clones for eight of the 17 S haplotypes (S 1 , S 5 , S 6 , S 8 , S 12 , S 13 , S 15 , and S 19 ) hybridized to the probe, whereas for the remaining nine S haplotypes (S 4 , S 7 , S 9 , S 10 , S 11 , S 16 , S 17 , S 20 , and S 21 ), none of the cDNA clones hybridized to the probe.…”
