Classic examples of this process are the germinal revertants of unstable, Ac/Ds transposon-induced kernel mutations in maize: frequent and early reversion events during somatic development are generally correlated with a high frequency of revertant gametes. We have characterized a Ds allele of the maize waxy (wx) gene, wx-m5:CS7, for which the correlation between somatic and germinal reversion frequencies no longer holds. The ability of wx-m5:CS7 (CS7) to produce revertant gametes is suppressed approximately 100-fold in comparison with a second Ds allele, wx-m5:CS8 (CS8), which has an identical insertion at Wx and the same frequent and early somatic reversion pattern in endosperm. The excision of Ds from wx is not reduced 100-fold in the somatic tissues of CS7 plants as compared with CS8 plants. Suppressed formation of CS7 revertant gametes is independent of the Ac transposase source and is heritably passed to the embryos of progeny kernels; however, frequent and early somatic reversion is observed again in endosperms of these progeny kernels. This suppression appears to be caused by a dominant mutation in a trans-acting product that can suppress the germinal reversion of other Ds-induced alleles as well; the mutation is tightly linked to Wx but is not in the CS7 Ds itself. Taken together, the data suggest a novel mode of developmental control of Ac/Ds elements by the host plant, suppressing element excision in the shoot meristem.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.091042453358316,"endowment":3.091042453358316,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"9349707","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1993292330","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Science Foundation","grant_id":"9507612","title":"Acquisition of a New Regulatory System by a Ds Transposon in Maize"}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":3.1965,"citation_percentile":0.91307191,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":1},{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2016,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"Springer TDM","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s004380050557.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s004380050557/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s004380050557","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s004380050557","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9349707","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s004380050557","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Plant Genetic and Mutation Studies","Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism","Chromosomal and Genetic Variations","0301 basic medicine","0303 health sciences","03 medical and health sciences","Alleles","Cloning, Molecular","DNA Transposable Elements","DNA, Plant","Gene Expression Regulation, Plant","Gene Library","Genes, Plant","Germ Cells","Mutagenesis, Insertional","Plant Proteins","Polymerase Chain Reaction","Sequence Deletion","Starch Synthase","Transposases","Zea mays"],"mesh_terms":["Alleles","Cloning, Molecular","Zea mays","DNA Transposable Elements","Germ Cells","Plant Proteins","Starch Synthase","Gene Library","Polymerase Chain Reaction","Mutagenesis, Insertional","Genes, Plant","Sequence Deletion","Gene Expression Regulation, Plant","DNA, Plant","Transposases"],"keywords":["Biology","Transposition (logic)","Genetics","Human genetics","Transposable element","Agronomy","Computational biology","Gene","Genome","Computer science","Artificial intelligence","DNA, Plant","Transposases","Genes, Plant","Polymerase Chain Reaction","Zea mays","Mutagenesis, Insertional","Germ Cells","Starch Synthase","Gene Expression Regulation, Plant","DNA Transposable Elements","Cloning, Molecular","Alleles","Gene Library","Plant Proteins","Sequence Deletion"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":2,"sdg_label":"2.
