Abstract excerpt
A secondary mutant, derived from an allele of maize alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (Adh1) carrying a Mutator transposable element (Mu1) in its first intron, was reported to exhibit a threefold decrease in ADH enzymatic activity and steady-state RNA levels compared to the original mutant. The original mutant, Adh1-S3034 (abbreviated S3034), was previously characterized at the molecular level. The derivative, abbreviated...
