Mutator activity in maize correlates with the presence and expression of the Mu transposable element Mu9.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Nov 1991

Hershberger R J, Warren C A, Walbot V

Abstract excerpt

Mutator is a powerful system for generating new mutants in maize. Mutator activity is attributable to a family of transposable, multicopy Mu elements, but none of the known elements is an autonomous (regulatory) element. This paper reports the discovery of Mu9, a 4942-base-pair Mu element that wa...
