Abstract excerpt
The transposition of Mu elements underlying Mutator activity in maize requires a transcriptionally active MuDR element. Despite variation in MuDR copy number and RNA levels in Mutator lines, transposition events are consistently late in plant development, and Mu excision frequencies are similar. Here, we report previously unsuspected and ubiquitous MuDR homologs that produce both RNA and protein. MuDR transcript...
