✦ Synopsis

The combination of opaque-2 with starch-modified or starch-deficient mutants produced a cumulative and synergistic effect, respectively in regulating zein synthesis. The double mutant, brittle-2 opaque-2, which almost completely prevented the synthesis of Z1 and Z2, had high RNase activity. The possible involvement of RNase in effecting zein synthesis is discussed.

The interstitial collagenase gene (CLG), one of the main candidates in severe generalized recessive epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (SGREBD), is closely linked to the stromelysin-1 (STMY1) and stromelysin-2 (STMY2) genes. These three loci map on chromosome 11 (q21-q22.3), where they constitute a c
