Abstract excerpt
To select for Ds transposition in transgenic tomato plants a phenotypic excision assay, based on restoration of hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT II) gene expression, was employed. Some tomato plants, however, expressed the marker gene even though the Ds had not excised. Read-out transcriptional activity of the Ds element is responsible for the expression of the HPT II gene. Transcription initiation was mapped...
