Abstract:
An isolated RAD23 polynucleotide comprising a member selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide having at least 85% sequence identity to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1; wherein the percent sequence identity is based on the entire region coding for SEQ ID NO: 2 and is calculated by the GAP algorithm under default parameters;(b) a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2;(c) a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEO ID NO: 4;(d) a polynucleotide amplified from a Zea mays nucleic acid library using primers which selectively hybridize, under stringent hybridization conditions, to loci within the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;(e) a polynucleotide which selectively hybridizes, under stringent hybridization conditions and a wash in 0.1.times.SSC at 60.degree. C., to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;(f) the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;(g) the polynucleotide of SEO ID NO: 3;(h) a polynucleotide which is complementary to a polynucleotide of (a), (b), (d), (e), or (f);(i) a polynucleotide which is complementary to a polynucleotide of (c) or (g); and(j) a polynucleotide comprising at least 75 contiguous nucleotides from a polynucleotide of (a), (b), (d), (e), (f), or (h); wherein the polynucleotides of parts (a), (d)-(e), (h)-(j) each encode monocot Rad23 polypeptides.
