The amount of a-amylase increased in cotyledons of germinating seeds of Vigna mungo (Minamikawa et al., 1992). To examine the genomic organization of the gene, DNA from V. mungo was analyzed by Southem hybridization with 32Plabeled a-amylase cDNA (Yamauchi and Minamikawa, 1990). Approximate estimates of the fragment sizes in kb were: EcoRI, 8 and 2.2; HindIII, 15; and XbnI, 4. Since HindIII and XbaI do not cut the cDNA, the results indicate that there is a single copy of the a-amylase gene. After the DNA from V. mungo digested by EcoRI was separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, about 2.2-kb fragments cut out from the gel were ligated to XgtlO. From this library we isolated a genomic clone (A VMAMYIA) containing a 1499-bp transcribed region and a 639-bp 5’-flanking region. The rest of the transcribed region was isolated by polymerase chain reaction. A 1.4-kb fragment was amplified and subcloned. This clone, designated pVMAMYlB, included a part of the third exon, the third intron, and the fourth exon, indicating that the aamylase gene from V. mungo has three introns of 235, 421, and 637 bp separating four exons of 113, 130, 806, and 492 bp. The sites of the introns are the same as those of the monocot a-amylase gene subfamily 2 (Huang et al., 1992).
