Abstract
The enzyme UDPglucose:flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase is shown to be under the coordinate control of three genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in the aleurone of maize: C, R, and Bz. Of the three, Bz appears to be the structural gene. Data presented here (dosage comparisons, induction in the mutant c-p, and effect of paramutation at R) indicate that the enzyme is inducible by substances resulting from the action of the C and R genes and that active forms of C and R are required for this induction. Mechanisms of regulation of the Bz gene by C and R are discussed.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
