Abstract excerpt
The glutathione S-transferase encoded by Bronze2 performs the last genetically defined step in maize anthocyanin biosynthesis, being required for pigment sequestration into vacuoles. The Bz2 primary transcript contains a single intron; in maize leaves both spliced and unspliced Bz2 transcripts are usually present and are predicted to encode 26 and 14 kDa proteins, respectively. To increase understanding of the...
