Molecular evidence that chromosome breakage by Ds elements is caused by aberrant transposition.

The Plant cell - 1 May 1993

Weil C F, Wessler S R

Abstract excerpt

The transposable Dissociation (Ds) element of maize was first discovered as a site of high-frequency chromosome breakage. Because both Ds-mediated breakage and transposition require the presence of the Activator (Ac) element, it has been suggested that chromosome breakage may be the outcome of an aberrant transposition event. This idea is consistent with the finding that only complex structures containing...
