Abstract excerpt
Mutation at the shrunken-2 (Sh2) locus of maize, a gene described more than 40 years ago, greatly reduces starch levels in the endosperm through its effect on the starch synthetic enzyme ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, an enzyme thought to be regulatory in this biosynthetic pathway. Although our previous work has suggested that Sh2 is a structural gene for this enzyme, we have also reported data compatible with...
