The DNA sequence of the terminal 4.2 kilobases (kb) of the 30-kb insertion in the endosperm sucrose synthase gene of maize mutant sh-m5933 shows that it comprises two identical 2,040-base pair (bp) segments, one inserted in the reverse direction into the other. We suggest that the 2,040-bp sequence is an example of the transposable element Dissociation described by Barbara McClintock.
玉米突变体sh-m5933胚乳蔗糖合酶基因中30千碱基(kb)插入片段末端4.2千碱基(kb)的DNA序列显示,它由两个相同的2040碱基对(bp)片段组成,其中一个以反向插入另一个之中。我们认为,这2040 bp的序列是芭芭拉·麦克林托克所描述的转座元件解离(Dissociation)的一个例子。
