Six cDNAs encoding light harvesting complexes proteins were isolated from leaves of Moso bamboo(Phyllostachys edulis)by RT-PCR and RACE methods, and named as cab-PhE3、cab-PhE2、cab-PhE5、cab-PhE8、cab-PhE9 and cab-PhE12. Sequence analysis showed that they belonged to lhcb1-6 genes of PSⅡ respectively. The proteins encoded by cab-PhE2, cab-PhE3 and cab-PhE5 had high similarity(>60%)and were macro-antenna proteins, however, the proteins encoded by cab-PhE8, cab-PhE9 and cab-PhE12 had low similarity(< 50%)and wer...
