Maize striate leaves2 (sr2) is a mutant that causes white stripes on leaves that has been used in mapping studies for decades, though the underlying gene has not been identified. The sr2 locus has been previously mapped to small regions of the normal chromosome 10 (N10) and a rearranged variant called Abnormal Chromosome 10 (Ab10). A comparison of assembled genomes carrying N10 and Ab10 revealed only five candidate sr2 genes. Analysis of a stock carrying the sr2 reference allele (sr2-ref) showed that one of the five genes has a transposon insertion that disrupts its protein sequence and has a severe reduction in mRNA. An independent Mutator transposon insertion in the gene (sr2-Mu) failed to complement the sr2-ref mutation, and plants homozygous for sr2-Mu showed white striped leaf margins. The sr2 gene encodes a DUF3732 protein with strong homology to a rice gene with a similar mutant phenotype called young seedling stripe1 (yss1). These and other published data suggest that sr2 may have a function in plastid gene expression.
