Abstract excerpt
The unstable mutation Adh1-Fm335 contains a Dissociation (Ds1) transposable element at position +53 in the untranslated leader of the maize Alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh1) gene. Excision of Ds1 is known to generate new alleles with small additions and rearrangements of Adh1 DNA. We characterized 16 revertant alleles with respect to ADH1 activity levels in scutellum (nutritive tissue of the seed), anaerobic root,...
