Abstract excerpt
Screening of transposon-associated mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana for altered starch metabolism resulted in the isolation of a mutant that did not accumulate starch in any tissue or at any developmental stage (starch-free mutant, stf1). Allelism tests with known mutants showed that stf1 represents a new mutant allele of the plastid isoform of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGMp). The mutation was mapped to...
