Abstract excerpt
The wild-type Japanese morning glory [Ipomoea nil (L.) Roth.] exhibits blue flowers with red stems, and spontaneous r mutants display white flowers with green stems. We have identified two r mutations, r1-1 and r1-2, that are caused by insertions of Tpn1-related DNA transposable elements, Tpn3 (5.6 kb) and Tpn6 (4.7 kb), respectively, into a unique intron of the CHS-D gene, which is responsible for flower and...
