Maternal-specific demethylation and expression of specific alleles of zein genes in the endosperm of Zea mays L.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Oct 1995

Lund G, Ciceri P, Viotti A

Abstract excerpt

Zeins constitute 60-70% of maize endosperm protein. Zein genes are specifically transcribed in the endosperm, and a correlation has been established between tissue-specific expression and demethylation. Three inbred lines and their reciprocal crosses were analysed to assess for allele-specific differences in methylation, transcription and translation. DNAs from endosperm, embryo and seedling tissues analysed by...
