The maize dek1 gene functions in embryonic pattern formation and cell fate specification.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Nov 2002

Becraft Philip W, Li Kejian, Dey Nrisingha, Asuncion-Crabb Yvonne

Abstract excerpt

Mutants in the maize defective kernel1 (dek1) gene are blocked in embryogenesis and the endosperm is chalky and lacks an aleurone layer. Here we show that intermediate alleles result in embryos that lack a shoot axis while weak alleles result in endosperms with mosaic aleurone and deformed plants...
