Abstract excerpt
The pl gene encodes a regulatory protein that controls the transcription of a number of structural genes of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in maize. pl alleles have been classified phenotypically into two categories: dominant (Pl) alleles lead to intense, light-independent pigmentation in v...
