Mutant alleles are in Ler, Col, or Ws.
Mutation arose through mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate.
References are to previous descriptions of the mutant alleles.
Details of the T-DNA insertion sites are in Supplemental Figure S4.
Mutants have one greatly enlarged chloroplast and some smaller chloroplasts in each cell.
Mutants have a heterogeneous population of chloroplasts, 40% to 50% wild-type size, 50% to 60% larger than wild type.
