Abstract
The maize transposable element Mu1 was transferred to Arabidopsis thaliana by Ti plasmid-mediated transformation and a fertile line containing Mu1 was regenerated. Southern analysis of transformed tissue indicated that the Mu1 DNA remained entirely within a segment of T-DNA during three sexual generations. The results of a search for spontaneous mutations in a large number of Mu1-containing seedlings suggests that the presence of Mu1 did not cause a major increase in the spontaneous mutation frequency.
