Abstract excerpt
The gene Hf1 plays a key role in the expression of floral color in petunias. Hf1 encodes a flavonoid-3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H). The recessive allele (hf1) in an inbred line of petunia is known to be generated by the insertion of a transposable element (Psl). We isolated a novel Mutator-like transposable element (named dTph9) from the hf1 allele of a commercial petunia with red flowers. Another novel transposable...
