Ac-bti00191
Typical kernel variegation patterns observed in seed homozygous for Ac-bti00191, and the Ds reporter (Ac-bti00191/Ac-bti00191, r-sc:m3/r-sc:m3)
The flanking sequence of Ac-bti00191 was initially cloned from a ~6.1 kb band, isolated from a genomic digestion using Pst1 and hybridized with a probe designed from an internal EcoR1-HindIII fragment of Ac.
Insertion of the Ac element into the cloned sequence was confirmed through PCR verification, as well as through Southern blot verification. We highly recommend confirming the position of all Ac lines using both PCR and Southern blot verification prior to large scale mutagenesis (see Brutnell and Conrad, 2003, Methods in Molecular Biology, 236:157-76.

Seed in stock. Genbank Accession #: AY559204
The flanking sequence of Ac-bti00225 was initially cloned from a ~3.7 kb band, isolated from a genomic digestion using EcoR1 and hybridized with a probe designed from the internal 700 bp EcoR1-HindIII fragment of Ac.
Insertion of the Ac element into the cloned sequence was confirmed through PCR verification. We highly recommend confirming the position of all Ac lines using both PCR and Southern blot verification prior to large scale mutagenesis (see Brutnell and Conrad, 2003, Methods in Molecular Biology, 236:157-76.

Ac-bti03811
The flanking sequence of Ac-bti03811 was initially cloned from a ~4.0 kb band, isolated from a genomic digestion using EcoR1 and hybridized with a probe designed from the internal 900 bp EcoR1-HindIII fragment of Ac.
Insertion of the Ac element into the cloned sequence was confirmed through PCR verification. We highly recommend confirming the position of all Ac lines using both PCR and Southern blot verification prior to large scale mutagenesis (see Brutnell and Conrad, 2003, Methods in Molecular Biology, 236:157-76.
