Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the prospects for transposon mutagenesis in the autogamous diploid legume Lotus japonicus, the behaviour of the maize transposable element Ac was analysed in the progeny of 38 independent transgenic plants. The conditions for monitoring donor site excision using histochemical localization of beta-glucuronidase activity or the alternative spectinomycin resistance assay were established, and used to...
