✦ Synopsis
Summary
The maize anthocyanin regulatory gone Lc gives rise to greatly enhanced anthocyanin accumulation when introduced into tomato. Under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus promoter Lc was seen to mediate enhanced pigmentation in all vegetative tissues, including roots, under high light (or sunlight) conditions. This paper demonstrates that the gone can be used as a powerful non‐destructive cell autonomous visual excision marker which will provide a valuable tool for transposon mutagenesis, the study of transposon biology and for studying cell lineages at the whole‐plant level.
