Mutator Activity in Maize: Timing of Its Activation in Ontogeny

DONALD S. ROBERTSON 1

1 Department of Genetics, Iowa State University, Ames 50011

Mutator activity in maize seems not to be active throughout the development of the plant, but to arise late in ontogeny, and to be developmentally rather than chronologically triggered.
