Abstract

The R-mb locus of maize is one of several genes that encode tissue-specific transcriptional regulator for the anthocyanin biosynthesis in plant parts and the aleurone layer in seeds. We found that the seed pigment frequencies gradually decreased at selfed progenies of the R-mb genetic stocks. In order to analyze the genomic structure of R-mb locus components, genomic Southern blot was performed by using R specific probe, pR-nj:1. Two bands were detected at the size of about 3.9 and 7.75kb. Five R-mb positive clones (mb-II, III, V,Ⅵ, and Ⅶ) were obtained by screening of maize genomic λFIXII library using R specific probe pR-nj:1. We constructed the restriction map of clone mb-II (7.75Kb positive) and mb-Ⅵ (3.9Kb positive), and have compared these with other R locus genes. From genetic and molecular analysis, it is suggested that R-mb complex consists two copy of R elements, and each element shows the paramutagenic and gene silencing effects by the fashion of cis-inactivation.

옥수수의 색소합성을 조절하는 pattern allele의 하나인 R-mb유전자의 구조와 유전적 분석을 수행하였다. R-mb 유전자의 유전분석을 수행한 결과를 검토하여 볼 때 후대로 진행됨에 따라 색소 발현빈도_의 감소경향을 보이고 있었다. 또한 R-mb 유전자가 몇 개의 R subcomplex로 존재하는가를 알기 위해서는 우선 R specific probe인 pR-nj:1를 이용하여 Southern blot hybridization을 실시한 결과 약 3.9kb 및 약 7.75kb영역에서 2개의 band가 관찰되었다. R-mb 유전자를 클로닝하기 위하여 λFIXIIvector를 이용하여 library를 만들고 이로부터 mb-II, III, V, Ⅵ, Ⅶ 등 5개의 clone을 3차의 screen을 거쳐 확보하고 이중 mb-II 및 mb-Ⅵ를 중심으로 제한효소지도를 작성하였으며, 이 유전자의 구조와 기타 R locus관련 유전자들과 비교하였으며, 이러한 두 개의 R 요소가 어떻게 색소발현에 영향을 미치는가에 대에 검토하였다.
