Abstract excerpt
We describe here protocols for isolating genes in maize using Dissociation (Ds) transposons marked with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene. The introduced marker enables the phenotypic scoring of the nonautonomous element and the anchoring of unique primers on the element to facilitate the isolation of the adjacent DNA by PCR. Transposons such as Ds transpose preferentially to sites closely linked to the...
