Mutant Name: rsw7
| Gene Name | RSW7 |
| Protein Name | |
| Mutagen | EMS |
| Category | forward genetics |
| Organism | Arabidopsis |
| Ecotype | Col |
| Donor | |
| General Description |
1.The radial swelling phenotype is temperature sensitive, being moderate at 19 degrees C, and pronounced at the restrictive temperature, 30 degrees C. 2.Mutants do not exhibit defects in abundance or orientation of cortical microtubules, nor are microfibrils reduced. 3.Cellulose synthesis is unchanged with respect to wild type. There is a disruption in the normal pattern of cell wall placement. |
| Organ Specificity | |
| Impact on Wall | No defects in abundance or orientation of cortical microtubules, nor are microfibrils reduced. |
| Impact on Sugar Composition | the amount of cellulose was slightly elevated. |
