Anaerobic stress in maize (Zea mays L.) leads to a drastic alteration in gene expression and results in the selective synthesis of a small number of polypeptides named anaerobic proteins (Sachs et al., 1980). Other plants studied showed similar responses when subjected to an anaerobic environment (Russell et al., 1990). To date, the majority of the anaerobic proteins that have been identified were found to be enzymes involved in the glycolytic pathway or Glc-P metabolism. Recently, however, Peschke and Sachs (1994) reported two anaerobically induced transcripts that do not encode enzymes involved in Glc metabolism and apparently serve other roles in the response of maize to flooding stress. The expression of the anaerobic proteins has been proposed to be regulated at the levels of both transcription and translation (Sachs et al., 1980; Hake et al., 1985).GPI (EC 5.3. 1.9) is an essential glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible isomerization of Glc-6-P and Fru-6-P, a reaction that also immediately precedes Suc biosynthesis in plants. This enzyme has also been called phosphohexose isomerase and phophoglucose isomerase. Two isozyme forms of GPI, one localized in the cytosol and the other in the plastid, have been reported in other plants and may also exist in maize (Weeden and Gottlieb, 1982; Kelley and Freeling, 1984). In general, plants examined contain a single gene for GPI-C, with the exception of Clarkia, which has two copies, resulting from gene duplication within that species (Weeden and Gottlieb, 1979). Three forms of GM have been reported in maize (Salamini et al., 1972). GPI-I encoded by the phil gene is expressed in both the devel-
