Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide comprising a member selected from the group consisting of:(a) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NOS: 2, 6, 11, 17 or complement thereof;(b) a polynucleotide which selectively hybridizes under stringent conditions to a polynucleotide of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16 or a complement thereof, wherein the hybridization conditions include a wash step in 0.1X SSC at 60.degree. C.;(c) a polynucleotide comprising a sequence of a nucleic acid amplified from a Zea mays nucleic acid library using the primers of SEQ ID NOS: 3-4, 8-9, 12-13, or 18-19;(d) a polynucleotide comprising at least 75% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 5, at least 85% identity to SEQ ID NO: 10, or at least 70% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 16, wherein the % sequence identity is based on the entire coding region and is determined by the GAP program where the gap creation penalty=50 and the gap extension penalty=3; and(e) a polynucleotide comprising a complement of (a) through (d).
