Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor DOF1 has been suggested to regulate photosynthetic gene expression in maize. By screening a RescueMu transposon-tagged mutant library, we identified a maize mutant with a transposon integration in the Dof1 gene 16 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site (TIS). Sequencing of the Dof1 promoter region revealed an unusual promoter structure missing any typical elements. Homozygous...
