Abstract excerpt
A mutant allele of the maize brittle-1 (bt1) locus, brittle-1-mutable (bt1-m), was shown genetically and molecularly to result from the insertion of a defective Suppressor-mutator (dSpm) transposable element. An Spm-hybridizing restriction enzyme fragment, which cosegregates with the bt1-m allele and is absent from wild-type revertants of bt1-m, was identified and cloned. Non-Spm portions of it were used as...
