Abstract excerpt
We have identified a mutant of pea cultivar Alaska that has many of the characteristics normally associated with light-grown seedlings even when grown in complete darkness. We have designated this mutant lip1, for light independent photomorphogenesis. Etiolated wild-type pea seedlings are white to slightly yellow in color and have a distinct morphology characterized by elongated epicotyls and buds containing...
