ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase in shrunken-2 and brittle-2 mutants of maize.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 25 May 1994

Giroux M J, Hannah L C

Abstract excerpt

The Shrunken-2 (Sh2) and Brittle-2 (Bt2) genes of maize encode subunits of the tetrameric maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase. However, in all sh2 and bt2 mutants so far examined, measurable ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase activity remains. We have investigated the origin of the residual activity found in various sh2 and bt2 mutants as well as tissue specific expression and post-translational modification...
