The lil1-1 mutant is an allele of brd1. (A) Schematic representation of the maize cytochrome P450 CYP85A1 C-6 oxidase gene structure (Maize B73 RefGen_v3). The lil1-1 mutant allele carries a Mutator1 (Mu1) insertion, indicated as a triangle, in the second exon at 877 bp from the ATG start codon. Positions of the brd1-m1 mutation at 1145 bp (Makarevitch et al., 2012) and of primers (arrows) used in this work are also indicated. (B) Representative phenotypes of 10-day old wild-type, homozygous lil1-1 and homozygous brd1-m1 seedlings. Scale bar = 2 cm.
