AWhat changed
Used maize genetics to describe mobile controlling elements and their effects on gene expression and chromosome behaviour.
Scientific scope
Used maize genetics to describe mobile controlling elements and their effects on gene expression and chromosome behaviour. Scope limitation: This is the selected 1950 genetic evidence, preceding later molecular characterization of transposons.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This is the selected 1950 genetic evidence, preceding later molecular characterization of transposons.
