An Arabidopsis Minute-like phenotype caused by a semi-dominant mutation in a RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S5 gene.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in ribosomal protein (RP) genes in Drosophila lead to strong developmental phenotypes, expressed in the semi-dominant Minute syndrome. In plants, however, mutations in RP genes have so far only been reported to result in recessive developmental phenotypes. We present the analysis of an Arabidopsis promoter-trap line, in which a T-DNA insertion in an RPS5 gene (AtRPS5A) causes semi-dominant developmental...
