The rpl23 gene and pseudogene are hotspots of illegitimate recombination in barley chloroplast mutator seedlings
Abstract Previously, through a TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) approach applied on barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) seedlings a high frequency of polymorphisms in the rpl23 gene was detected. All the polymorphisms corresponded to five differences already known to exist in nature...
