Abstract
The receptive component of theCy transposable element system (rcy: Mu7) at theBz locus ofZea mays L. is 2.2 kb and has long terminal inverted repeats. The insertion is flanked by a 9 bp duplication. In the presence of an autonomousCy element in the genome,rcy: Mu7 is excised frombz-rcy in a manner consistent with a model suggested previously. The termini ofrcy: Mu7 have 85% sequence similarity with theMu1 element ofZ. mays. This is consistent with the observation thatMu1 can behave genetically like a receptive component of theCy system.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
