Identification and characterization of Arabidopsis vq8-1 mutant. A, The structure of the intronless VQ8 gene. The transposon insertion site of the vq8-1 mutant is indicated. P1 and P2 are the two primers used for identification of homozygous vq8-1 mutant plants. B, Genetic analysis of vq8-1. Col-0 wild type (WT) was crossed with the vq8-1 and the F2 progeny were screened for homozygous vq8 progeny and scored for the absence (−) or presence (+) of its mutant phenotypes. C, The phenotypes of the vq8-1 mutant. The picture was taken at 7 weeks after germination.
