After working on Neurospora, George Beadle studied hybrids of this organism and (*) teosinte [tee-oh-SIN-tay].
Mo17 [M-O-seventeen], W22, and B73 are some of the most widely-used lines of this organism, some of whose genes are silenced by a gene discovered in it called "Mu killer." This was the first organism demonstrated to have an Ac-Ds [A-C-D-S] system, consisting of an "activator" that allows a "dissociator" element to function, affecting the level of anthocyanin produced in this organism's aleurone layer. After working on Neurospora, George Beadle studied hybrids of this organism and (*) teosinte [tee-oh-SIN-tay]. Investigating the cause of this organism's variegated color patterns allowed Barbara McClintock to discover transposons. For 10 points, what plant model organism is used in industry to make a "high-fructose" sweetener?
