a

Based on alignment of flanking sequence; total number of exons or introns noted in parentheses.

b

Present in heterozygous siliques; 25% expected; significant deviation: **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.

c

Aborted (homozygous mutant) seeds in top half of heterozygous siliques; 50% expected. Significant deviation indicates probable effect of mutation on pollen tube growth. N.D., Not determined.

d

Occasional seeds with cotyledon defects of unknown origin also found in this line and included in totals.

e

Occasional seeds with delayed phenotype attributed to heterozygotes included in totals for this population.

f

Percentage of aborted ovules and early aborted seeds combined.
