Mutant Name: ixr2-1
| Gene Name | CesA6 |
| Protein Name | Cellulose synthase |
| Mutagen | EMS |
| Category | forward genetics |
| Organism | Arabidopsis thaliana |
| Ecotype | Col |
| Donor | |
| General Description |
1. The mutant has resistance against the herbicide isoxaben. 2. The mutation is semi-dominant;wildtype plants transformed by IXR2-1 show reduced sensitivity to isoxaben. 3. The mutation is an allele of prc1; it has a R1064W amino acid change that delimits the C-terminal end of the 8th predicted transmembrane anchor of CESA6. |
