Do you mean difference in size or difference in amino acid composition of
related proteins? Concerning size, what I can recall from a discussion
a while ago on this newsgroup (bionet.general) plant genome sizes can
differ vastly in size. The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana (that's one
of the genomes currently being under intensive investigation) is a 
rather small one whereas certain plants (I think it was certain lily
species) can have genome sizes severalfold higher than the human genome.
