THE MOLECULAR BASIS FOR ALLELIC COMPLEMENTATION OF ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE MUTANTS OF MAIZE

1 Department of Plant Sciences, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401

Studies on interallelic complementation with two temperature-sensitive alcohol dehydrogenase mutants in maize are described. The data suggest that the phenomenon results from instability or abnormal maturation of the mutant homodimer rather than correction of configurational defects in mutant heterodimers.
