ZmSSRP1 facilitates the progression of RNA polymerase II and is essential for kernel development in maize.

Abstract excerpt

Transcript elongation controlled by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) represents a key regulatory event in numerous cellular processes. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the regulation of RNAP II distribution and progression in plants remain largely elusive. Here, we positionally cloned the causal mutation in the defective kernel 59 (dek59) maize (Zea mays) mutant and demonstrated that Dek59 encodes...
