Sorghum dw3 reversion in Tx430. (A) Tx430 plants (dw3/dw3) in the field, with visible a DW3 revertant (red arrow). (B) Stalk internode compaction in the TX430-dwarfed dw3 phenotype (right) compared to a DW3 revertant (left). (C) DW3 revertants and Tx430 wild-type (dw3/dw3) genotypes assayed by PCR. Fragment size (bp) marker lane on left. Dw3 and dw3 alleles were discriminated by the presence of a tandem repeat of 882 bp in exon 5; the wild-type plants showed a major band (>1,500 bp). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions were optimized for amplification of revertant product. (D) MSH1-RNAi transgene-null (memory) plant containing the functional DW3 allele. Under the conditions of this study, DW3 was not detectable in the phenotype of MSH1-RNAi transgene-null (memory) plants.
