We have found a null Adh1 allele which arose as a somaclonal variant following tissue culture of maize embryos carrying Adh1-1S and Adh1-1F alleles. Cloning and sequencing shows that the mutant allele derives from Adh1-1S and that there has been a single base change in the coding region of the gene which converts an AAG lysine codon to a TAG stop codon. The rate of nucleotide substitution (two per 218 embryos cultured) is much greater than normal mutation rates.
