Abstract excerpt

Most Mutator lines of maize harbor several different classes of Mu transposons, each of which may be present in high copy number. The regulatory element is also often found in high copy number, and it is this element's behavior that is presumed to cause the non-Mendelian inheritance of Mutator ac...
