The conversion from a bisexual to unisexual floral meristem in Zea mays is correlated with programmed cell death and the expression of tassleseed2 (ts2).
Preliminary results suggest that ts2 sequence is largely conserved within Panicoideae (nucleotide divergence 3.1-6.1%, amino acid divergence 1.7-6.5%) and Bambusoideae (nucleotide divergence 6.2%, amino acid divergence 4.7%), but less so within Ehrhartoideae (nucleotide divergence 17.1% amino acid divergence 16.5%), largely due to the Zizania sequence.
Nucleotide sequence divergence between Oryza and Bambusoideae (7.8-9.5%) and Panicoideae (7.8-9.5%) taxa, is less than the estimated divergence between Oryza and Zizania.
