Variegated flower phenotypes were generated using the Arabidopsis transposon Tag1 and the maize R regulatory gene. Tag1 was inserted between the CaMV 35S promoter and the maize R gene and transformed into tobacco plants. In half of the transgenic plants, variegated flower patterns were observed. Each line had a different pattern, with varying intensities with three lines showing only tiny sectors indicative of late excision and one showing large sectors indicative of earlier excision.
