Table 4.
Number of mutants with SNP | SV class | SNPs in intergenic regions | SNPs within gene (promoter, exon, intron) |
---|---|---|---|
SNPs unique to 1 plant | 3 | 74,534 | 17,761 |
SNPs shared by 2 plants | 2 | 14,515 | 2,376 |
SNPs shared by 3 plants | 2 | 7,190 | 1,073 |
SNPs shared by 4 plants | 2 | 4,159 | 744 |
SNPs shared by 5 plants | 2 | 2,033 | 409 |
SNPs shared by more than one mutant plant (Class 2) represent natural variation existing in the Red Hawk cultivar. SNPs unique to a single mutant (Class 3) are likely caused by FN mutagenesis. SNPs within a gene region are more likely to impact gene expression patterns than those in intergenic regions.
