Martienssen R, Baron A

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements from the Robertson's Mutator family are highly active insertional mutagens in maize. However, mutations caused by the insertion of responder (non-autonomous) elements frequently depend on the presence of active regulator (autonomous) elements for their phenotypic effects. Th...
