Abstract excerpt
The duplicated R and Sn genes are involved in the regulation of the maize anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway, encoding tissue-specific products that are homologous to the helix-loop-helix transcriptional activators. Sn determines the pigmentation of the mesocotyl, leaf basis and pericarp, while R determines pigmentation in various tissues, but not in the mesocotyl. In the progeny derived from test-crosses of R/Sn...
