Abstract excerpt
The C1 locus of Zea mays (maize) controls the expression of genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in aleurone and scutellar tissue and encodes a protein with the features of a transcriptional activator. C1-I is a dominant negative mutant which inhibits pigment formation. The structure of the C1-I allele was determined by cloning and sequencing of this allele and of two distinct C1-I derived cDNAs. C1-I has...
