A point mutation at the Miniature1 seed locus reduces levels of the encoded protein, but not its mRNA, in maize.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Mar 2000

Carlson S J, Shanker S, Chourey P S

Abstract excerpt

We report here on the molecular nature of an EMS-induced mutant, mn1-89, a leaky semidominant allele of the Miniature1 (Mn1) seed locus that encodes a seed-specific cell wall invertase, INCW2. The mn1-89 locus specifies normal levels of the Incw2 transcript but extremely low levels (about 6% of normal) of the protein and enzyme activity are expressed. Sequence analysis of Incw2 clones derived from the parental...
