Binding site selection for maize-TGA1 and teosinte-TGA1. α-32P-labeled DNA fragments that contain 26 randomized nucleotides were incubated with maize or teostine-TGA1. After five rounds of EMSAs, the shifted DNA bands were excised, and the consensus binding motif was obtained. Both maize-TGA1 and teosinte-TGA1 proteins bind to DNA fragments with a GTAC core motif. For each allele, 50 ng, 100 ng, and 200 ng of TGA1 protein are shown (left to right).
