Abstract excerpt
The maize Ac/Ds transposable elements, which belong to the hAT transposon superfamily, are widely used as insertional mutagens in numerous plant species. Molecular studies suggest that Ac/Ds elements transpose in a conservative non-replicative fashion; however the molecular mechanism of transposition remains unclear. We describe here the identification of an unusual Ds element, Ds-mmd1 , in a transgenic...
