Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) fatty acid biosynthesis1 (fab1) mutant grows as well as wild type at 22 degrees C, but after transfer to 2 degrees C fab1 plants cannot maintain photosynthetic function and die after 5 to 7 weeks at 2 degrees C. A fab1 suppressor line, S7, was isolated in a screen that identified mutants that remained alive after 16 weeks at 2 degrees C and were able to flower and produce...
