Suppression of Leaf Variegation by var1 var2 fug1 and var2 sco1.

(A) Leaf variegation of var1 and var1 var2 was suppressed by fug1. Photographs of a parental var1-1 (top left, 4 weeks) and var1-1 var2-1 double mutant (bottom left, 5 weeks) are shown, together with var1-1 fug1-1 double mutant (middle, 5 weeks; right, 10 weeks) and var1-1 var2-1 fug1-1 triple mutant (middle, 5 weeks; right, 10 weeks). Bars = 1 mm in left panel and 5 mm in right panels.

(B) Another mutation, sco1, which is defective in translation elongation in chloroplasts, suppressed the leaf variegation of var2. Photographs of 4-week-old sco1 (left) and 5-week-old var2-1 sco1 double mutant (right) are shown. Bars = 1 mm in left panel and 5 mm in right panel.
