| Abstract | A tissue-specific epistatic mode of gene interaction was observed between molecularly homologous genes Sh1 and Sus1 (hereafter, Sh and Sus), encoding the sucrose synthase (SS) isozymes, SS1 and SS2, respectively. In Sh Sus genotype, both SS genes were expressed simultaneously and approximately equally in young seedlings; however, only the Sus-encoded SS2 protein was seen in the developing embryos. By contrast, the mutant sus genotype, lacking detectable levels of the SS2 protein in various tissues tested, showed expression of the Sh locus as judged by the detection of the SS1 protein in such embryos. Ectopic expression in embryos was seen from two separate Sh alleles, Sh-W22 and Sh'-5 (a revertant allele derived upon Ds excision from sh-m5933). In each case, the Sh expression at the protein level in embryos was unique to genotypes with the mutant sus gene. Based on the observed lack of phenotypic change in the sus mutant, we suggest that the ectopic expression of the Sh in otherwise Sus-specific tissues leads to functional compensation. There was no epistatic interaction of Sh and Sus at the RNA level as SS1 transcripts were detectable in both Sus and sus embryos. Thus, embryo specificity between the two SS genes was determined at posttranscriptional or at translational level of control. We surmise on the basis of these data that metabolic regulatory controls seem to override the normal constraints of tissue and cell specificity of the nonallelic isozyme genes to maintain efficient use of the pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
