Abstract excerpt
The maize proteins Opaque-2 (O2) and OHP1 are members of the bZIP class of transcriptional regulatory proteins. The genomic organizations of the O2 and OHP1 genes are conserved in terms of the number and placement of introns which suggests a common evolutionary origin. The organization of O2 and OHP1 contrasts with the maize bZIP protein gene OBF1, which lacks introns, suggesting that there exist at least two...
