Cloned (Comment)	Organism
vp15 mutant, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, using a high-throughput strategy for analysis of high-copy Mu lines, i.e. MuTAIL PCR to extract genomic sequences flanking the Mu transposons in the vp15 line. the vp15 maps to chromosome 5L. Two allelic mutations confirm that Vp15 encodes a plant MPT synthase small subunit, ZmCNX7	Zea mays

additional information	the viviparous mutant vp15 shows a Mu insertion in a gene encoding the small subunit of molybdopterin synthase. Mutant seedlings rescued in soil or agar media are typically smaller than the wild-type, with spindly leaves, MoCo-dependent enzyme activities are reduced in the vp15 mutants, phenotype, overview	Zea mays

General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
malfunction	the viviparous seed mutant, viviparous15 (vp15), isolated from the Uniform Mu transposon-tagging population, shows an early seedling lethal phenotype, it also shows reduced activities of several enzymes that require molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) in vp15 mutant seedlings, overview. Because MoCo is required for abscisic acid biosynthesis, the viviparous phenotype is probably caused by abscisic acid deficiency	Zea mays
