Abstract：
:Sequences of Bronze2 (Bz2), a maize gene which is required for the synthesis of the purple pigment anthocyanin, have been cloned by combining the techniques of transposon tagging and differential hybridization. First, a mutable bz2 allele (bz2-mu1) was recovered from a Mutator line. The mutation was assumed to result from an insertion of the transposable element Mutator (Mu), which is found in 10-60 copies in Mutator lines. A library was prepared using DNA isolated from bz2-mul, and a small bank of Mu-specific candidate clones was selected. Because much is known about the genetic requirements for the synthesis of anthocyanin in different tissues, we were able to identify the bz2 clone based on its hybridization to RNA isolated from different bz2 mutants. Only one clone hybridized to RNA isolated from the husks of purple (Bz2, B, Pl) plants but not to RNA isolated from the husks of green (an-bz2-6923, b, pl) plants. Further confirmation was provided by the hybridization pattern of the clone on blots containing DNA from other bz2 mutants. We present a restriction map of the clone, indicating the location and orientation of the 1.4-kbp Mu insert. We identify the transcribed region, the direction of transcription and the location of the 1.4-kbp Mu insert in an independently isolated mutant, bz2-mu2.
