Abstract excerpt
We have identified a family of repetitive sequences in the genome of Nicotiana alata named Tna1 (Transposon of N. alata). The first element we characterised was a genomic clone for the N. alata s6-ribonuclease (S6-RNase), a gene required for self-incompatibility in this species. The DNA sequence of this element resembles the integrase domain of retrotransposons of the gypsy class and is most similar to a...
