Abstract excerpt
Several metastable Ac alleles at the maize p locus were identified that produced novel pericarp variegation patterns. From the transmission analysis of pericarp sectors, we show that Ac inactivation is a somatic process. Ac excision from P and transactivation of an unlinked Ds was delayed or abse...
