Abstract excerpt
The two components of the Bg-rbg transposable element system of maize have been cloned. The Bg element, isolated from the mutable allele wx-m32:: Bg is inserted in the intron of the Waxy (Wx) gene between exons 12 and 13. The length of the element is of 4869 bp. Bg has 5 bp terminal inverted repeats, and generates upon insertion an 8 bp direct duplication of the target sequence. Both ends of the Bg element...
