title: Zea mays ZmMybst1 cDNA, encodes a single Myb-repeat protein with the VASHAQKYF motif.
abstract: A cDNA clone from a 4 DAP dissected maize embryo sac encoding a novel Zea mays single-repeat Myb protein is reported here. This full-length cDNA contains an ORF of 948 bp. The gene ZmMybst1 contains two introns (1166 and 706 bp) and is a single copy gene. The ZmMybst1 protein shares high sequence identity with the potato Mybst1 protein (58%). Northern blot, RT-PCR and electronic northern analysis shows that ZmMybst1 is expressed in endosperm between 4 and 30 DAP, coinciding with the period of aleurone cell differentiation and development.
