Molecular analysis of wild-type and mutant alleles at the Opaque-2 regulatory locus of maize reveals different mutations and types of O2 products.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Mar 1994

Bernard L, Ciceri P, Viotti A

Abstract excerpt

The expression of the various members of the zein multigene family in maize endosperm is controlled by different regulatory loci. One of these loci, Opaque-2, coding for a bZIP transcriptional factor, controls the expression of a subset of zein genes. Analysis of genomic DNA from plants carrying...
