Title
THE TIMING OF Mu ACTIVITY IN MAIZE
Donald S Robertson Genetics 1980. doi:10.1093/genetics/94.4.969
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Premeiotic Mu mutants were induced.
- Observation Ear maps revealed seed sectors producing phenotypically similar allelic mutants.
- Association Small sector size suggested very late premeiotic Mu activity.
- Observation No visible sectors were found in mature sporophyte, endosperm or aleurone tissue.
- Association Mu mutator activity seemed restricted to shortly before or during meiosis.
