Sex determination gene TASSELSEED2 of maize encodes a short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase required for stage-specific floral organ abortion.

Cell - 27 Aug 1993

DeLong A, Calderon-Urrea A, Dellaporta S L

Abstract excerpt

Maize produces separate unisexual flowers through programmed abortion of preformed organ primordia. In the male inflorescence (tassel), stamen primordia develop to sexual maturity, while gynoecia (pistil primordia) are aborted. In tasselseed2 (ts2) mutant plants, floral structures in the tassel adopt a female developmental program. Here we report the transposon tagging and cloning of the TS2 gene, which plays a...
