Abstract excerpt
The pl1 gene encodes a MYB-related transcriptional activator committed to the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize. Here, we report the genetic and molecular characterisation of pl-bol3, an Andean allele displaying features that make it different from all the known pl1 alleles. pl-bol3 has partial, light-independent expression, and it is active mainly in the juvenile phase of growth. It has a complex...
