Abstract

Insertion mutagenesis is defined as the insertion of DNA of known sequence into a gene. In plants there are two types of insertion elements that have been used for this purpose: transposons and T-DNA. Numerous genes have been isolated from species such as Zea mays and Antirrhinum majus that harbour endogenous transposable elements. In species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, heterologous transposons have been used to mutagenize genes (Bhatt et al., 1996). Transposon mutagenesis will be described elsewhere in this volume (Chapter 19).
