Transposons are controlled by epigenetic regulations. To obtain newly activated autonomous elements of Dart1, a DNA transposon, in rice, seeds of a stable pale yellow leaf (pyl-stb) mutant caused by the insertion of nDart1-0, a nonautonomous element in OsClpP5, were treated with 5-azaC, a...

The rice Dart/nDart transposon system belongs to the hAT superfamily of class II transposons. The nonautonomous element nDart is active in intact rice plants. The autonomous element Dart was identified based on sequence similarity to nDart. Because the rice genome sequence of Nipponbare contains at ...
