    Abstract:
    To mutagenize rice genomes, a two-element system is utilized. This system comprises an immobile Ac element driven by the CaMV 35S promoter, and a gene trap Ds carrying a partial intron with alternative splice acceptors fused to the GUS coding region. Rapid, large-scale generation of a Ds transposant population was achieved using a plant regeneration procedure involving the tissue culture of seed-derived calli carrying Ac and Ds elements. During tissue cultures, Ds mobility accompanies changes in methylation patterns of a terminal region of Ds, where over 70% of plants contained independent Ds insertions. In the transposon population, around 12% of plants expressed GUS at the early seedling stage. A flanking-sequence-tag (FST) database has been established by cloning over 19,968 Ds insertion sites and the Ds map shows relatively uniform distribution across the rice chromosomes.
