Abstract excerpt
A model of En transposition during chromosome replication is presented following a study of somatic events associated with the transposition of En in the endosperm tissue of the maize kernel. Two supporting assays, the excision and the postexcision events, were used in following these events. The excision of the En transposon has been monitored in the starch-producing endosperm tissue by using the wx-844...
