Description |
The Brittle2 (Bt2) gene is one of three genes in the maize genome coding for the small subunit of ADP-glucose pyro-phosphorylase (AGPase), a key enzyme in starch synthesis. It is predominantly expressed in the developing endosperm. The bt2 mutant is characterised by collapsed, brittle kernels on mature ears. During kernel development a strong increase in soluble sugars (mainly sucrose) and a strong reduction in starch content has been observed. The goal of the present study was to compare the transcriptome between wildtype and bt2 kernels (bt2-H2328 allele) at mid-development (35 days after pollination). The main biological question was, whether the block in starch synthesis caused the transcriptional induction of other metabolic pathways to allow an alternative use of the excess sucrose.
