Abstract excerpt
The B gene encodes a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix class, which controls the synthesis of the anthocyanin pigments in maize. This gene, as well as the highly homologous R gene family, displays extensive allelic variation in that different alleles cause distinct distributions...
