Sequence and expression of a microspore cDNA clone with homology to a ribosomal protein

A cDNA library was made to RNA from corn anthers containing developing pollen at the uninucleate microspore stage. A randomly selected clone from this library which contained an insert (531 bp) was isolated and sequenced. An open reading frame of 330 bp was located. Computer alignments of the putati...
