A segmental deletion series generated by sister-chromatid transposition of Ac transposable elements in maize.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2005

Zhang Jianbo, Peterson Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Certain configurations of maize Ac/Ds transposon termini can undergo alternative transposition reactions leading to chromosome breakage and various types of stable chromosome rearrangements. Here, we show that a particular allele of the maize p1 gene containing an intact Ac element and a nearby terminally deleted Ac element (fAc) can undergo sister-chromatid transposition (SCT) reactions that generate large...
