Abstract excerpt
Liguleless3-O (Lg3-O) transforms the leaf blade, auricle and ligule into sheath around the midrib region. We conducted a genetic mosaic analysis of the Lg3 phenotype to determine the site of Lg3 gene action. Combining the Mutator (Mu) suppressible Lg3-Or211 and a1-mum2 alleles in a Mu-active background generated a stock wherein somatic loss of Mu activity resulted in anthocyanin-marked clonal sectors expressing...
