The Molecular Basis for Allelic Complementation of Alcohol Dehydrogenase Mutants of Maize

Drew Schwartz 1
PMCID: PMC1213267  PMID: 17248677

Abstract

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.
