Abstract
Four phenotypically wild-type seeds were obtained from separate Activator-induced events in the Dissociation-inhibited allele sh2-ml (shrunken-2, mutable-1). Endosperm adenosine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, the enzyme controlled by sh2, was extracted and partially purified from the four revertants and was compared to enzyme produced by the progenitor Sh2 allele and the sh2-m allele. The revertants contained 50 to 140% of the activity conditioned by the progenitor allele. Each of the revertants appears to be unique as judged by differences in Km(glucose-1-PO4), 3-phosphoglycerate(3-PGA) activation, and phosphate-inhibition. In one case the reversion event apparently increased the sensitivity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylate to 3-PGA activation.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
