Table 1. Phenotype comparison of prp39a mutants and wild type.
| Plant line | Germination (D.A.I.) | Transition to floweringa (days on soil) | Height (cm) | Diameter rosette leaves (cm) | Seed set (mg/plant) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| prp39a-3 (n = 12) | 5 | Ave. 15.4 Range 10–20 | Ave. 32.8 Range 25–37 (n = 11) | Ave. 8.5 Range 7–10 | Ave. 90.1 Range 60–113 (n = 11) |
| prp39a-4 (n = 12) | 5 | Ave.10.3 Range 9–11 | Ave. 32.7 Range 29–36 | Ave. 4.9 Range 3.5–6 | Ave. 75.7 Range 45–115 |
| T (n = 12) | 5 | Ave. 9.5 Range 8–11 | Ave. 35.2 Range 32–38.5 | Ave. 7.3 Range 6–9 | Ave. 110.2 Range 81–149 |
To compare phenotypes of prp39a mutants compared to the wild-type T line, we grew 12 plants from each genotype on soil to maturity and seed set. The features listed above were noted for individual plants. The ranges and averages of the assessed values are indicated. D.A.I., days after imbibition; n, number of plants; Ave, average.

Most plants had 10 rosette leaves when bolting occurred.
