Abstract excerpt
A new transposable element of tobacco, Slide, was isolated from the tl mutant line, which shows somatic instability, after its transposition into a locus encoding nitrate reductase (NR). The Slide-124 element is 3733 bp long and its coding sequences show similarities with conserved domains of the transposases of Ac, Tam3 and hobo. Excision from the NR locus is detectable in somatic leaf tissues and Slide mobility...
