Abstract excerpt
The mobilization of transposable elements is a potent source of mutations. In plants, several stransposable elements respond to external cues, fuelling the hypothesis that natural transposition can create environmentally sensitive alleles for adaptation. Here we report on the detailed characterization of a retrotransposon insertion within the first intron of the Arabidopsis floral-repressor gene FLOWERING LOCUS C...
