Some maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes produced husk leaves without leaf blades. However, the physiological implication of this leaf deformity is unclear. Difference in protein pattern was observed between maize with and without husk leaf blades. A clear band around 38[sim ]40 kDa in seeds of maize genotypes without husk leaf blades appeared, while it was not detected in ones with husk leaf blades. These protein might be involved in leaf blade intiation.

Keywords: polypeptide patterns; seed proteins; Zea mays
Subjects: husk leaf, novel protein; leaf blade initiation, novel protein; maize; polypeptide patterns, leaf blade initiation; proteins, leaf blade initiation; seed proteins, leaf blade initiation; Zea mays
