Major recent and independent changes in levels and patterns of expression have occurred at the b gene, a regulatory locus in maize.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Dec 1999

Selinger D A, Chandler V L

Abstract excerpt

The b locus encodes a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes that produce purple anthocyanin pigment. Different b alleles are expressed in distinct tissues, causing tissue-specific anthocyanin production. Understanding how phenotypic diversity is produced and maintained at the b locus should provide models for how other regulatory genes, including those that influence morphological traits and...
