Abstract excerpt
Transposon activity is known to cause chromosome rearrangements in the host genome. Surprisingly, extremely little is known about Dissociation (Ds)-induced chromosome rearrangements in Arabidopsis, where Ds is intensively used for insertional mutagenesis. Here, we describe three Arabidopsis mutants with reduced fertility and propose that excision of a hybrid Ds element induced a large genomic deletion flanking...
