Novel mutant phenotypes of a dark-germinating mutant dkg1 in the fern Ceratopteris richardii.

Abstract excerpt

The mutant dark-germinating 1 ( dkg1) of the fern Ceratopteris richardii was originally characterized by two phenotypes, germination in the dark and inhibition of germination by light. In this work, we examined whether other phenotypes are present in the gametophytic generation of the dkg1 mutant. Although dkg1 prothalli grown in darkness were elongated as in the case of the wild type, some developmental...
