Moreover, stomata-less sporophytes of ΔPpSMF1 and ΔPpSCRM1 mutants exhibited delayed dehiscence, implying stomata might have promoted dehiscence in the first complex land-plant sporophytes.
However, trt-1 ; pot-1 double mutants exhibited delayed senescence in comparison to trt-1 animals, and senescence was further delayed in trt-1 ; pot-2 ; pot-1 triple mutants, some of which survived robustly in the absence of telomerase.
Adult schachbrett (sbr) mutants exhibit delayed changes in iridophore shape and organisation caused by truncations in Tight Junction Protein 1a (ZO-1a).
The fact that autonomous pathway mutants (like edm2 mutants) exhibit delayed vegetative phase change is also consistent with the proposed function of EDM2 as a new component of this floral promotion pathway [ 13].
Although the cotyledons of SIG2 antisense plants are chlorophyll deficient, the leaves are dark green (Privat et al, 2003); similarly, sig6-1 null mutants exhibit delayed greening of cotyledons, but otherwise normal leaves (Ishizaki et al, 2005).
Moreover, the HPr-S46A and HPr-S46D mutant spores exhibited delayed revival patterns.
Since the cli186 mutant exhibits delayed greening and problems with seed set (data not shown), the notion that CLI186 also plays a role in light-grown seedling development is currently being investigated.
The ghd10 mutant and progeny all exhibited delayed flowering time, increased primary branch number and tall stalks, inherited.
