Abstract excerpt
The transgenic petunia line 17-R contains one copy of the maize A1 gene which mediates brick-red pelargonidin pigmentation of the flower. A white derivative, 17-W, was isolated from homozygous progeny of this line in which no pelargonidin pigmentation was observed. In 17-W the 35S promoter drivin...
