DNA methylation in the Alcohol dehydrogenase-1 gene of maize.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jul 1990

Walbot V, Warren C

Abstract excerpt

Using a battery of methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes, cytosine methylation at 23 sites in a 7.6 kb region surrounding the Alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh1) gene was measured in DNA prepared from immature maize cobs. Both the 5' upstream region and the entire coding region were hypomethylated...
