Reactivation of Mutator transposable elements of maize by ultraviolet light.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Sept 1992

Walbot V

Abstract excerpt

After epigenetic loss of Mutator activity, the family of Mu elements in Zea mays becomes immobile and highly methylated; in addition, Mu9, the presumptive autonomous regulatory element, is transcriptionally silent and its copy number decreases in successive crosses to non-Mutator lines. Spontaneous reactivation, scored as restoration of somatic instability of potentially mutable alleles of Bronze-2, of such...
