Creation and analysis of Brassica napus + Arabidopsis thaliana somatic hybrids possessing maize spm/dspm heterologous transposable system

Cytology and Genetics 2005, v 39, number 3, 50-56

Functionally asymmetric somatic hybrids possessing heterologous transposable element Spm/dSpm were obtained following intertribal somatic hybridization between Brassica napus and transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. Mobile genetic elements actively transposed in the hybrid genomes. Complete elimination of A. thaliana genome was not observed.
