Identification of the maize gravitropism gene lazy plant1 by a transposon-tagging genome resequencing strategy.

Since their initial discovery, transposons have been widely used as mutagens for forward and reverse genetic screens in a range of organisms. The problems of high copy number and sequence divergence among related transposons have often limited the efficiency at which tagged genes can be identified....
