Abstract excerpt
The transposable element Activator (Ac) has been used in several plant species as a tool for gene isolation and characterization. However, it has not been widely utilized in its native host maize, in part, because of a relatively low germinal transposition rate. The propensity of Ac to move to linked sites provides an opportunity to overcome this limitation when Ac elements are distributed at regular intervals...
