a

Mutant alleles are in Ler, Col, or Ws.

b

Mutation arose through mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate.

c

References are to previous descriptions of the mutant alleles.

d

Details of the T-DNA insertion sites are in Supplemental Figure S4.

e

Mutants have one greatly enlarged chloroplast and some smaller chloroplasts in each cell.

f

Mutants have a heterogeneous population of chloroplasts, 40% to 50% wild-type size, 50% to 60% larger than wild type.
