Abstract excerpt
We studied electrophoretic variation and inheritance of triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) isozymes in maize (Zea mays L.). In contrast to most diploid plants, in maize, TPI exists as multiple isozymes in both the plastid and cytosolic subcellular compartments. Phenotypes result from the overlay of two independent sets of isozymes and allozymes, representing the plastid (encoded by the nuclear genes Tpi1 and Tpi2)...
