| General Description |
1. Mutatation not caused by Ds but a C to T transition resulting the introduction of a stop codon at position R889. 2. Mutation does not form root hairs or only little deformed ones. 3. Transient expression of fusion protein KJK/AtCslD3-GFP4 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaf cells was localized in ER. |
