Abstract excerpt
In Antirrhinum majus only autonomous Tam3 transposons have been characterized. We investigated whether an artificial dTam3 element, with a deletion in the presumptive transposase coding region, can be trans-activated in tobacco by an activator Tam3 element, which was immobilized by the deletion of one inverted repeat. A phenotypic assay based on restored hygromycin resistance demonstrates that a dTam3 element...
