Abstract excerpt
In sorghum, the Candystripe1 (Cs1) transposable element causes a variegated pericarp phenotype due to its excision activity from the yl (yellow seed1) locus. The Y1 is a transcription regulator which is required for the biosynthesis of red 3-deoxyflavonoid pigments. Somatic variability in the transposition behavior of Cs1 was observed via biochemical analysis of 3-deoxyflavonoids in the leaf tissues of the Y1-cs...
