Abstract excerpt
The maize (Zea mays L.) rum1-R (rootless with undetectable meristems 1-Reference) mutant does not initiate embryonic seminal roots and post-embryonic lateral roots at the primary root. Map-based cloning revealed that Rum1 encodes a 269 amino acid (aa) monocot-specific Aux/IAA protein. The rum1-R protein lacks 26 amino acids including the GWPPV degron sequence in domain II and part of the bipartite NLS (nuclear...
