Abstract excerpt

Molecular and genetic techniques are used to define Kn1-O, a mutation which interferes with the normal differentiation of vascular tissue in leaves. Sequences associated with a previously cloned allele, Kn1-2F11, were used as hybridization probes in a Southern analysis of Kn1-O. By this analysis,...
