Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the somatic activity of the maize Activator (Ac) element in haploid and diploid aspen with the objective of developing an efficient transposon-based system for gene isolation in the model tree species Populus. It was shown that Ac is reinserted, frequently into or near coding regions in aspen, and therefore can be used for gene tagging studies. A number of phenotypic variants were also found...
