This work aims at reviewing current progress in the field of plant transposble elements, especially those described as Ac/Ds and En/dSpm systems, first discovered in maize.We gave the molecular characteristics of plant transposones and the rules of their behaviour within a genome.The procedure for a particular gene mapping and for mapping of many genes responsible for biochemical pathway were cited.In comparison with other genome mapping methods the advantages and drawbacks of "gene tagging" were envisaged.The enclosed tables provide many documental examples of plant genes identification via "gene tagging" method.
