Abstract excerpt
The nivea (niv) gene of Antirrhinum majus encodes chalcone synthase, an enzyme involved in synthesis of anthocyanin pigments. The nivrec:98 allele contains a single copy of the transposon Tam3 inserted at the niv locus. A large chromosomal rearrangement derived from this mutant has been shown to be flanked by two copies of Tam3. In this study, we compared sequences involved in this rearrangement with their...
