Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation GSL-ELONG was fine-scale mapped as a locus controlling aliphatic glucosinolate side-chain length.
- Observation Two allelic mutants deficient in four-carbon glucosinolates carried independent missense mutations in this gene.
- Observation A heterologously expressed cDNA from the locus catalyzed condensation of 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoic acid with acetyl-coenzyme A.
- Observation MAM1 belongs to a gene family with approximately 60% amino acid sequence similarity to 2-isopropylmalate synthase.
