Abstract excerpt
We identified eight independent Tam3 copies residing in the same Antirrhinum majus genome. All the copies showed excision at 15 degrees C, but not at 25 degrees C. Under conditions promoting excision, each copy appeared to transpose in the leaves and flower lobes with a nearly constant frequency, whereas individual transposition abilities varied widely: the most active copy had an excision frequency more than...
