Abstract

Purothionins are small basic proteins found In the genus Triticum. Hexaplold wheat (T. aestivum), with genomes A, B, and D, produces three forms of puothionin ({alpha}1, {alpha}2 and ß) that are all simllar in amino acid sequence. Teiraploid wheat (T. durum), with genomes A and B. produces two forms ({alpha}1,ß), whereas a diplold wheat (T. monococcum), with only the A genome, produces only ß-purothionin. The amino acid sequences of the purothlonins examined have been completely conserved during the period in which hexaploid wheat originated from its progenitors.
