Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.) cytosolic 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase isozymes (EC 1.1.1.44; 6-PGD) are encoded by unlinked loci Pgd1 and Pgd2. Two families from a Robertson's Mutator line were isolated which have no detectable expression of Pgd2. These Pgd2-null mutants and a Pgd1-null line were used to generate plants homozygous for null alleles at both cytosolic 6-PGD loci. The specific activity of 6-PGD in the...
