A structural gene encoding the beta-amylase that is abundant in the starchy endosperm of ungerminated barley seeds was isolated and characterized. It was 3825 bp in length. In the sequence of the structural gene, a sequence identical to that of the cDNA was found to contain seven exons and six introns.
