ABSTRACT Monoclonal antibodies have been developed against PC-1 protein, the major hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) from maize pericarp, and have been used as probes in an indirect alkaline phosphatase antibody assay to localize this protein in tissue of three maize varieties. Kernels were sa...
