MUT-4784 rbcL-W451Opal mt+ (18-5B) (non-pf2 progeny used for genetic analysis)
Datasheet
Catalog No: ALS-03920
Product Details
Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
The 18-5B chloroplast mutant was recovered by screening a collection of acetate-requiring mutants for lack of complementation with a known Rubisco rbcL mutant. It results from an rbcL nonsense mutation that changes the codon for Trp-451 (TGG) to opal (TGA). Selection for photosynthesis-competent revertants yielded heteroplasmic strains that result from chloroplast informational (tRNA) suppression. This strain was recovered from a cross between the original 18-5B mt+ and pf2 mt-, and has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
