Title: Movable genetic elements: detection of changes in maize DNA at the Shrunken locus due to the intervention of Ds elements

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5277334

This report describes our initial attempts at the molecular characterization of a maize controlling element. We have prepared a cDNA probe and used it to detect changes at a locus where Ds elements are found. Evidence of their presence are indicated by changes in the restriction patterns, but there is as yet no information on the physical nature of the controlling elements nor on the kinds of rearrangements they cause.
