Abstract excerpt
The new unstable virescent seedling (vis) allele of a petunia mutant, that has green leaves but white cotyledons with green revertant spots, was used to identify spontaneously occurring haploid petunia lines with active transposable elements. Endogenous transposons were trapped into the single pe...
