Analysis Of A Controlling-Element Mutation At The Adh Locus Of Maize, John Osterman, Drew Schwartz
School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications
A Ds-suppressed Adh mutant was isolated by the allyl alcohol pollen selection
technique. The mutant produces a reduced level of an altered thermolabile
enzyme suggesting that the Ds element is inserted in the Adh structural gene.
The mutant protein is enzymatically active and does not differ detectably in
size from the progenitor protein. A number of possible explanations for the data
are presented.
