Abstract excerpt
The Japanese morning glory has an extensive history of genetic studies and over 200 different spontaneous mutant lines have been described. Of these, we identified that two mutable alleles, flecked and speckled, for flower variegations are caused by integration of transposable elements, belonging to the En/Spm family, into the DFR-B and CHI genes for flower pigmentation, respectively. The mutable flaked allele of...
