Bundock P, Hooykaas P. An Arabidopsis hAT-like transposase is essential for plant development. Nature. 2005;436:282-4 pubmed

..Here we show that a transposase from Arabidopsis thaliana that we named DAYSLEEPER is essential for normal plant growth; it shares several characteristics with the hAT (hobo, Activator, Tam3) ..
