Fig. 3. Footprint alleles generated after excision of dAc-I-RS from the insertion allele ale1-1. The 8 bp duplicated upon dAc-I-RS insertion is labelled TSD. Footprints that leave the open reading frame intact (ale1-1-R1 to R4) lead to reversions to wild-type, while plants carrying the footprints that disrupt the open reading frame (ale1-1m1 and m2) are mutant.
