Abstract excerpt
The maize lesion mimic gene Les22 is defined by dominant mutations and characterized by the production of minute necrotic spots on leaves in a developmentally specified and light-dependent manner. Phenotypically, Les22 lesions resemble those that are triggered during a hypersensitive disease resistance response of plants to pathogens. We have cloned Les22 by using a Mutator-tagging technique. It encodes...
