Abstract excerpt
The maize p1 gene regulates the production of a red pigment in the kernel pericarp, cob, and other maize floral tissues. Insertions of the transposable element Ac can induce recombination between two highly homologous 5.2-kb direct repeat sequences that flank the p1 gene-coding region. Here, we tested the effects of the Ac insertion site and orientation on the induction of recombination at the p1 locus. A...
