Abstract excerpt
A genetic analysis of maize aleurone development was conducted. Cell lineage was examined by simultaneously marking cells with C1 for anthocyanin pigmentation in the aleurone and wx1 for amylose synthesis in the starchy endosperm. The aleurone and starchy endosperm share a common lineage throughout development indicating that positional cues specify aleurone fate. Mutants in dek1 block aleurone formation at an...
