Figure 1

A. mRNA sequences encoding the MYL8 or [AUG]-YL8 and the LYL8 or [CUG]-YL8 peptides are shown. The sequences differ only at a single nucleotide (A>C) within the boxed initiation codon. B. Bicistronic transgene encoding the WI9 and LYL8 peptides. The conventional [AUG] initiated WI9 is followed by a stop codon and the cryptic [CUG] initiated LYL8 peptide.
