Plastome mutator-induced alterations arise in Oenothera chloroplast DNA through template slippage.

Stoike L L, Sears B B
Abstract excerpt
The plastome mutator of Oenothera hookeri strain Johansen causes deletions and duplications at target sites defined by direct repeats in the plastid genome. Previous studies characterized the mutations long after they had occurred and could not discriminate between the possibilities that the plastome mutator acted through unequal homologous recombination or template slippage. From the known hotspots, the rRNA...
