Abstract excerpt
A 314-bp DNA element called Heartbreaker-hm1 (Hbr-hm1) was previously identified in the 3' untranslated region of a mutant allele of the maize disease resistance gene HM1. This element has structural features of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) and is a member of a large family of approximately 4,000 copies in the maize genome. Unlike previously described MITEs, most members of the Hbr...
