Abstract excerpt
Maize R genes encode a small family of transcriptional activators of several structural genes in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. The 5' leader region of most R genes contains a 38-codon upstream open reading frame (uORF) that previously was shown to be responsible for the repression of downstream gene expression in a transient transformation assay. In this study, we report that the 5' leader also can...
