Abstract: Although advances have been made in plant genetics, many species still cannot be studied owing to the lack of efficient methods for disrupting genes. This is no longer a problem for leguminous plants, thanks to the development of a technique for generating mutations. A marker transposon called Ac is inserted into the genome, and, if it is excised again precisely, it allows the affected gene to be sequenced with ease.
