From: Molecular characterization of a rice mutator-phenotype derived from an incompatible cross-pollination reveals transgenerational mobilization of multiple transposable elements and extensive epigenetic instability

Figure 2

Transpostional activation of mPing revealed by DNA-gel blotting. (a) Hybridization of the full-length of mPing to a blot containing XbaI-digested genomic DNA of the various lines, including the rice parental line Tong211, the mutator-phenotype Tong211-LP and 8 individuals from its selfed progeny (S1). Arrows and arrowheads denote positions of loss and gain of bands in the S1 progenies of Tong211-LP, respectively. (b) Hybridization of a Pong fragment in the ORF2 region (Pong-ORF2) to the same blot as in (a). The monomorphic single band in all lanes indicates that these rice plants likely contain a single copy of Pong, and which was transpositionally static.
