Abstract excerpt
Oenothera plants homozygous for a recessive allele at the plastome mutator (pm) locus show non-Mendelian mutation frequencies that are 1000-fold higher than spontaneous levels. Characterization of RFLP sites in a collection of mutants indicates that insertion-deletion hot spots in the pm lines are defined by tandem direct repeats, implicating replication slippage or misalignment during recombination. Several...
