20. 6 plaques screened. One cDNA was made up of 1681 base pairs (bp) and encodes a full-length protein. Amino acid sequences of RS2 and PHAN proteins from Antirrhinum and Arabidopsis were aligned using Pileup (Genetics Computer Group, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI) with a gap weight of 5 and a length weight of 0.1. An 11.5-kb Bam HI genomic clone was isolated from a size-selected genomic library. Introns were identified by restriction analysis of the genomic and cDNA clones, followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis. An intron of ∼2.4 kb is present in the 5′ UTR.

22. The maize phan locus was mapped with recombinant inbred populations [B. Burr, F. Burr, K. Thompson, M. Albertson, C. Stuber, Genetics 118, 519 (1988)] to a position that is three map units distal to npi598 on chromosome arm 1S.
23. 1 screens at a frequency of 1 in ∼12,000 plants. The nature of the mutation in the rs2-mum1 and rs2-mum2 alleles was determined by restriction analysis.
24. Shoot apices of 2-week-old rs2 and wild-type sibling seedlings were fixed and embedded as described [D. Jackson, in Molecular Plant Pathology: A Practical Approach, D. Bowles, S. Gurr, M. McPherson, Eds. (Oxford Univ. Press, Oxford, 1991), pp. 163-174]. Immunohistochemistry with a KNOX-specific polyclonal antibody (provided by M. Freeling, University of California, Berkeley) was performed as described (1, 9).
25. -1 probe complexity.
26. Five micrograms of total RNA from vegetative shoot apices, young floral corollas (<5 mm), young leaves (<5 mm), and fully expanded leaves of either wild type or phan-607 mutants (6) were used in cDNA synthesis with an oligo(dT) primer. One percent of each cDNA pool was used as a template in PCR reactions with AmSTM-specific primers capable of amplifying 419 bp of cDNA surrounding the position of the 405-bp intron (6). Specific PCR products of 419 bp were detected by Southern (DNA blot) hybridization with an AmSTM probe. Control amplification with primers specific for the Antirrhinum UBIQ-UITIN gene (X67957) under the same conditions indicated that similar amounts of cDNA were present in all samples.
