Mu element-generated gene conversions in maize attenuate the dominant knotted phenotype.

Mathern J, Hake S
Abstract excerpt
The knotted1 gene was first defined by dominant mutations that affect leaf morphology. The original allele, Kn1-O, results from a 17-kb tandem duplication. Mutator (Mu) insertions near the junction of the two repeats suppress the leaf phenotype to different degrees depending on the position of th...
