Abstract excerpt
Eight functional actin genes are present in Arabidopsis: The functional characterization of these genes in loss-of-function mutants is difficult, because highly conserved isovariants are generally expressed in the same tissue. We isolated a novel semi-dominant mutant allele (act2-2D) of an actin...
