Abstract excerpt
The recessive mutation intensifier1 of maize apparently causes an overall increase in flavonoid production in the aleurone. The mechanism by which this is achieved is not understood. We have succeeded in cloning the intensifier1 gene by transposon tagging with Suppressor-mutator and found, by sequence analyses, that it shares homology with known transcription factors in the anthocyanin pathway, in particular the...
