We are interested in the molecular basis and biological significance of genomic diversity in maize. To understand the mechanisms that generate and maintain variation, we have been following the stability of new multiplicities in succeeding generations and in regenerated plants. We have recently found that sequences similar in DNA sequence and structure to the transposons of the system are present in the stable maize varieties we are studying. We are now examining the variation and stability of these sequences as well as the array of repeated sequences we have studied previously.
