Summary

We describe four genomic clones of pea 7S storage protein gene, one of which corresponds to convicilin, and the others to vicilin. Hybridization studies exploiting these clones, and previously identified cDNA clones, have enabled us to define six different loci. Three of these loci have been mapped to positions on chromosome 7.
