Abstract excerpt
The Tnt1 transposable element of tobacco belongs to the retrotransposon family and shares the structural features of viral retroelements including two long terminal repeats (LTRs) which are known to contain promoter regions. We show that two Tnt1 RNAs of 5.2 and 6.5 kb can be found. The 5.2 kb RN...
