Cristal mutations in Arabidopsis confer a genetically heritable, recessive, hyperhydric phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

A new class of recessive Arabidopsis mutants, designated cristal (cri) has been isolated which display several abnormalities reminiscent of hyperhydric symptoms. These characteristics include translucent and wrinkled cotyledons and leaves, abnormal chloroplast organization, a reduced amount of chlorophyll, a reduced dry weight and a decreased number of palisade cells in the leaves accompanied by an increase of...
