Molecular characterization of a mutable pigmentation phenotype and isolation of the first active transposable element from Sorghum bicolor
1999
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Accumulation of red phlobaphene pigments in sorghum grain pericarp is under the control of the Y gene. A mutable allele of Y, designated as y-cs (y-candystripe), produces a variegated pericarp phenotype. Using probes from the maize p1 gene that crosshybridize with the sorghum Y gene, we isolated the y-cs allele containing a large insertion element. Our results show that the Y gene is a member of the MYB-transcription factor family. The insertion element, named Candystripe1 (Cs1), is present in
