The sku6-1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits altered patterns of root and organ growth. sku6 roots, etiolated hypocotyls, and leaf petioles exhibit right-handed axial twisting, and root growth...
Scheible, W. R., Fry, B., Kochevenko, A., Schindelasch, D., Zimmerli, L., Somerville, S., ...
Thaxtomin A is a phytotoxin produced by Streptomyces scabies and other Streptomyces species, the causative agents of common scab disease in potato and other taproot crops. At nanomolar...
SOMERVILLE, S. C., SOMERVILLE, C. R.
Exposure to atmospheric conditions which promote photorespiration strongly inhibits photosynthesis in a mutant of Arabidopsis lacking mitochondrial serine transhydroxymethylase activity, and glycine...
Benning, C, Beatty, J T, Prince, R C, Somerville, C R
All photosynthetic organisms, with the exception of several species of photosynthetic bacteria, are thought to contain the sulfolipid 6-sulfo-alpha-D-quinovosyldiacylglycerol. The association of this...
Taylor, N G, Scheible, W R, Cutler, S, Somerville, C R, Turner, S R
The irregular xylem3 (irx3) mutant of Arabidopsis has a severe deficiency in secondary cell wall cellulose deposition that leads to collapsed xylem cells. The irx3 mutation has been mapped to the top...
Recessive mutations at three loci cause the collapse of mature xylem cells in inflorescence stems of Arabidopsis. These irregular xylem (irx) mutations were identified by screening plants from a...
Phenotypic Suppression of the Gibberellin-Insensitive Mutant (gai) of Arabidopsis.
Wilson, R. N., Somerville, C. R.
The semidominant gibberellin-insensitive (gai) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows impairment in multiple responses to the plant hormone gibberellin A3, which include effects on seed germination,...
Rounsley, S D, Glodek, A, Sutton, G, Adams, M D, Somerville, C R, Venter, J C, ...
The generation of large numbers of partial cDNA sequences, or expressed sequence tags (ESTs), has provided a method with which to sample a large number of genes from an organism. More than 25,000...
Mutations at the Arabidopsis CHM locus promote rearrangements of the mitochondrial genome.
MartÃnez-Zapater, J M, Gil, P, Capel, J, Somerville, C R
Nuclear recessive mutations at the chloroplast mutator (CHM) locus of Arabidopsis produce a variegated phenotype that is inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion. Molecular analysis of the cytoplasmic...
An Arabidopsis mutant defective in the general phenylpropanoid pathway.
Chapple, C C, Vogt, T, Ellis, B E, Somerville, C R
Mutants of Arabidopsis deficient in a major leaf phenylpropanoid ester, 2-O-sinapoyl-L-malate, were identified by thin-layer chromatographic screening of methanolic leaf extracts from several...
Isolation and genetic complementation of a sulfolipid-deficient mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
All photosynthetic organisms are thought to contain the sulfolipid 6-sulfo-alpha-D-quinovosyl diacylglycerol. However, the pathway of sulfolipid biosynthesis has not been elucidated, and the...
Identification of an operon involved in sulfolipid biosynthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Two new mutants of Rhodobacter sphaeroides deficient in sulfolipid accumulation were isolated by directly screening mutagenized cell lines for polar lipid composition by thin-layer chromatography of...
Somerville, C. R., Ogren, W. L.
Three mutants of the crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana (Linnaeus) Heynhold were isolated that are completely lacking in activity catalyzed by serine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.45), a...
Gurevitz, M., Somerville, C. R., McIntosh, L.
We have placed the genes encoding ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from the Anabaena 7120 operon under transcriptional control of the lac promoter carried on the Escherichia coli plasmid...
Somerville, C. R., Ogren, William L.
Three allelic mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana which lack mitochondrial serine transhydroxymethylase activity due to a recessive nuclear mutation have been characterized. The mutants were shown to be...
A Mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana Which Lacks Activation of RuBP Carboxylase In Vivo1
Somerville, C. R., Portis, Archie R., Ogren, William L.
A mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana has been isolated in which ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase is present in a nonactivatable form in vivo. The mutation appears to affect carboxylase activation...
Browse, J, Warwick, N, Somerville, C R, Slack, C R
The kinetics of [1-14C]acetate incorporation in Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heyn) showed almost equal labelling of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and diacylgalactosylglycerol (DGG) at early times and the...
Mutants of the cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana lacking glycine decarboxylase activity.
A mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heyn. (a small plant in the crucifer family) that lacks glycine decarboxylase activity owing to a recessive nuclear mutation has been isolated on the basis of a...
