Abstract

Recombination analysis revealed that the R-nj phenotype was restored when the component genes Sc and Nj were brought together in trans configuration. Complementation demonstrated that these genes are closely linked and have different functions; Sc is responsible for anthocyanin production in the aleurone tissue and Nj controls the onset, termination or period of Sc gene action
