Molecular genetic analysis of vte3. (A and B) Cosegregation analysis of vte3 and the ortholog of A. thaliana VTE3 (A) and the ortholog of the Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 sll0418 gene product (B). The vte3 mutant was crossed to a polymorphic wild-type strain (WT) to obtain haploid progeny. A single-nucleotide polymorphism was scored for each gene. The form of tocopherol accumulated in each strain is indicated by α or β. 1a and 2d are progeny of two complete tetrads. A total of 45 progeny were tested. (C) Relative positions of both orthologs on linkage group XV. The orthologs are located 144 kb apart on linkage group XV. EST894011B10, IDA2, DHC7, and ZSP2 are chromosomal markers. VTE3, A. thaliana ortholog; sll0418, Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 gene product ortholog.
