Retrotransposon insertion into the maize waxy gene results in tissue-specific RNA processing.

The Plant cell - 1 Jun 1997

Marillonnet S, Wessler S R

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported that three alleles of the maize waxy (wx) gene were alternatively spliced as a result of the insertion of retrotransposons into intronic sequences. In addition, inefficient splicing of element sequences with the surrounding intron produced wild-type transcripts that presumably were responsible for the observed residual gene expression in the endosperm. In this study, we report that one of...
