Recombination-repressing chromosomal knobs were discovered in this organism.
Recombination-repressing chromosomal knobs were discovered in this organism. Since 1896, proteinand oil content in this organism have been researched in the Illinois long-term selection experiment. Atargeted mutagenesis technique in this organism utilizes Activator and Dissociator, or Ac/Ds, loci tobreak chromosomes. Mutations in the Tb1 gene can cause this organism to develop a branchingphenotype like that of a wild ancestor, teosinte (tay-oh-SIN-tee). This organism's color is produced by anamesake xanthophyll (ZAN-thuh-fill) carotenoid (kuh-ROT-in-oid) called zeaxanthin (zee-uh-ZAN-thin). 85percent of its genome is composed of mobile elements discovered in it, including LINEs and SINEs.
