Abstract:
Summary The cloning of the controlling element Ac from the wx-m7 allele of Zea mays is described. The cloned fragment carries a 4.3 kb insertion that by restriction analysis is indistinguishable from the Ac insertion in Ac wx-m9. It is located approximately 2.5 kb upstream of the Ac wx-m9 insertion.
