Latent Uq activity

Activation of latent Uq elements has been detected in certain outcrosses. These Uq elements appear and are expressed initially at a low frequency, but by strong selection, very active elements can be isolated and these behave similarly to Uq-standard (Friedemann and Peterson, 1980, MCNL).
