A modified autonomous En transposon in maize (Zea mays L.) elicits a differential response of reporter alleles.
Genetics - 1 Nov 1997

Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements in maize are composed of a defined molecular structure that includes coding sequences, determiners of functionality and ordered terminal motifs that provide binding sites for transposase proteins. Alterations in these components change the phenotypic expression of unstable genes with transposon inserts. The molecular basis for the altered timing and frequency of transposition as determined...
