MYB-related proteins play a key role in regulating the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in plants at the transcriptional level. An MYB gene designated c1-I-2K1 (GenBank accession no. AY237128) was cloned from maize line "2K1 purple," and except for a deletion of nine nucleotides encoding three amino acids right at the carboxyl terminal end of the encoded protein, it was identical to the previously characterized c1-I...
