Molecular evolution of the Opaque-2 gene in Zea mays L.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Oct 2005

Henry Anne-Marie, Manicacci Domenica, Falque Matthieu, Damerval Catherine

Abstract excerpt

The Opaque-2 gene (O2) in maize encodes a transcriptional activator that controls the expression of various genes during kernel development, particularly some of the most abundant endosperm storage protein genes. Compared to its wild relative teosinte, maize has bigger and heavier kernels, with an increased proportion of starch and an altered distribution of the various storage protein categories. The molecular...
