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 poss
The molecular defect in an opaque-2 (02) mutant, previously characterized as a null allele, has been identified as containing an insertion of the transposable element of the Bergamo (Bg) family. Restriction mapping and partial sequence analysis of the Bg in the 02 null allele indicates that this ele
