Frequency of reconstitution of the variegated pericarp allele in maize.

SELF-RED pericarp (P) in maize arises as a mutant from variegated pericarp (PrrMp) by the transposition of Modulator ( M p ) away from the P locus, where it represses Prr action, to another chromosome site. Evidence summarized in the preceding article (ORTON and BRINK 1966) showed that occasionally the variegated allele is reconstituted in a Prr plant hemizygous for such a transposed Modulator ...

Tomato Fruit Pericarp

The tomato fruit consists of a thick, fleshy pericarp composed predominantly of highly vacuolated parenchymatous cells, which surrounds the seeds. During ripening, the activation of gene expression results in dramatic biochemical and physiological changes in the pericarp. The polygalacturonase (PG) gene, unlike many fruit ripening-induced genes, is not activated by the increase in ethylene horm...
