Abstract
Evidence is presented for presetting and erasure at the P locus of maize. The presence of an Mp transposable controlling element in the Pvv allele affects the presetting and thus the regulation of gene function in different tissues.
Keywords: P locus, modulator, variegation, pericarp, transposition
