Abstract

Two novel cDNAs from Sorghum bicolor have been cloned and sequenced. The sequence analysis revealed that one of the cDNAs, pSbaNSS, is a partial clone which may encode a putative transcription regulator, and its transcript was markedly up-regulated by white light. The second cDNA, pSbaNS4, may encode a putative glycoprotein of 307 amino acids. Its transcript was present in etiolated tissues and was not significantly altered by white light.
