M. Joseestanyol et P. Puigdomenech, RAPID CHANGES INDUCED IN DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMS OF THE MAIZE EMBRYO DETECTED BY ANALYSIS OF THE EXPRESSION OF GENES ENCODING PROLINE-RICH PROTEINS, FEBS letters, 422(3), 1998, pp. 400-402
The pattern of expression of two genes coding for proline-rich protein
s, zmHyPRP and zmHRGP, in Zea mays is modified when the embryogenesis
programme is altered by placing the embryos in conditions which promot
e either precocious germination or callogenesis. zmHyPRP gene expressi
on is rapidly arrested when the embryogenesis programme is altered. zm
HRGP mRNA is highly induced in scutellum within a few hours of calloge
nesis or precocious germination. (C) 1998 Federation of European Bioch
