A mutable slender glume gene slg was induced by gamma-ray irradiation to seeds of the rice variety Gimbozu. Occasionally reverting to its wild-type, slg is assumed to involve an active transposable element in it. To identify the molecular characteristics of this element, we attempted to clone slg with a positional cloning method. slg has already been mapped on the overlapping region of two YAC clones, Y1774 and Y3356. We first selected 209 candidate clones from the cDNA clone library of the rice variety Nipponbare using a YAC clone Y1774 as a probe, and then partially sequenced 54 clones. B...
