Figure 1

A rare purple kernel resulting from intragenic recombination within the bz1 locus. The linked_shrunken1_ (sh1) trait is also segregating on these ears, and its recessive homozygosity explains the kernels that appear somewhat shrunken. Photo courtesy of H. Dooner.

Figure 2

A simplified schematic of the bz1 regions in maize inbreds B73 and McC. Arrows with numbers indicate the location, size, and transcriptional orientations of predicted genes in the region. The_bz1_ locus is gene 2 in the sequentially numbered series, and allelic loci are connected by lines. The filled regions represent LTR–retrotransposon blocks. The different colors of the fills indicate that each of these blocks is unique in its LTR–retrotransposon composition.
