Abstract: | Three starch-degrading enzymes from liquid endosperm of maize have been separated by means of horizontal acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The three enzymes are tentatively identified as -amylase (zone 1), -amylase (zone 2), and -glucan phosphorylase (zone 3). Electrophoretic variants of these enzymes were found among ten inbred strains examined. Results of genetic crosses with respect to zone 2 amylase show that it is controlled by a pair of alleles (Amy-2
A and Amy-2
B) acting without dominance. It further appears that Amy-2 and Ct (catalase) are linked with 5% recombination frequency.This work was supported by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, under contract No. AT(11-1)-1338. |
