Journal ArticleDOI
The Miniature1 Seed Locus of Maize Encodes a Cell Wall Invertase Required for Normal Development of Endosperm and Maternal Cells in the Pedicel.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Miniature1 (Mn1) seed locus in maize encodes an endosperm-specific isozyme of cell wall Invertase, CWI-2, which suggests an unusually tight coordinate control between the cell wall-bound and the soluble forms of invertase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic evidence that invertase-mediated release of hexoses is critical for appropriate carbon partitioning and normal seed development in maize.
Wan-Hsing Cheng,Prem S. Chourey +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that under in vitro kernel culture conditions the hexose-basedmedium was similar to the sucrose-based medium in promoting the normal development of kernels of the Mn1, but not of the mutant mn1, genotype, which retains their mutant phenotype regardless of the presence of sucrose or hexoses in the culture media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugars modulate an unusual mode of control of the cell-wall invertase gene (Incw1) through its 3′ untranslated region in a cell suspension culture of maize
TL;DR: It is shown that a cell-wall invertase encoded by the Incw1 gene is regulated at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels by sugars in a heterotrophic cell suspension culture of maize, and it is suggested that the 3' untranslated region of the IncW1 gene acts as a regulatory sensor of carbon starvation and may constitute a link between sink metabolism and cellular translation in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, characterization and expression analyses of two cell wall invertase genes in maize
Earl Taliercio,Jae-Yean Kim,Aline Mahé,Savita Shanker,Jae Choi,Wan-Hsing Cheng,Jean-Louis Prioul,Prem S. Chourey,Prem S. Chourey +8 more
TL;DR: In situ hybridization studies show that the Incw 2 mRNA is confined to the basal endosperm transfer cells in a developing kernel, and the deduced amino acid sequences of Incw 1 and IncW 2 represent cell wallbound invertases.
