Phenotypic effects of short-range and aberrant transposition in Antirrhinum majus.

Plant molecular biology - 1 May 1990

Hudson A D, Carpenter R, Coen E S

Abstract excerpt

We describe two novel ways in which changes in gene expression in Antirrhinum majus may arise as a consequence of the Tam3 transposition mechanism. One involves excision of Tam3 from the nivea gene promoter and insertion of two new Tam3 copies 3.4 kb and 2.1 kb away, on either side of the excisio...
