The PCR fragment was designated as pcr1460 , which overlaps with OsMT-2 , a cDNA sequence previously characterized , with the presence of two additional segments , 583 and 613 bp in length .
These segments are recognized as introns which divide the coding sequence into three exons , 65 , 78 and 106 base pairs in length .
The sequences flanking the introns conform with the GT/AG rule for splice junctions , and one exonic open reading frame can be identified in each of the introns .
The observation that MT-like gene has two introns is the first of such a finding obtained from monocotyledonous plants . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 2, subscore: 1.00 ]: A type 2 rice metallothionein-like gene was isolated from root by PCR and sequenced .
