Abstract excerpt

Maize MuDR/Mu elements are one of the most active Class II transposons and are widely used for transposon tagging for gene cloning. The autonomous MuDR encodes a transposase, while diverse non-autonomous elements share similarity to MuDR only within their ~215 bp terminal inverted repeats (TIRs). Four independent Mu-induced mutable alleles of the anthocyanin pigment pathway Bronze2 (Bz2) locus have been...
