Mutations in the Arabidopsis AtMRS2-11/AtMGT10/VAR5 Gene Cause Leaf Reticulation
In higher plants, the development of functional chloroplasts is essential for photosynthesis and many other physiological processes. With a long-term goal of elucidating the genetic regulation of chloroplast development, we identified two allelic leaf variegation mutants, variegated5-1 (var5-1) and var5-2. Both mutants showed a distinct leaf reticulation phenotype of yellow paraveinal regions a...
متن کاملLeaf-variegated mutations and their responsible genes in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Leaf variegation has long been known as a recessive genetic trait in higher plants. Unlike albino mutants, leaf-variegated mutants are non-lethal and thus enable us to study a novel mechanism of plastid development and maintenance. Variegation results from a defect that makes chloroplast development unstable, since at least part of the tissues gives rise to normal chloroplasts. Despite the fact...
متن کاملMutations of the GREAT gene cause cryptorchidism.
In humans, failure of testicular descent (cryptorchidism) is one of the most frequent congenital malformations, affecting 1-3% of newborn boys. The clinical consequences of this abnormality are infertility in adulthood and a significantly increased risk of testicular malignancy. Recently, we described a mouse transgene insertional mutation, crsp, causing high intraabdominal cryptorchidism in ho...
متن کاملMutations in KCNJ5 gene cause hyperaldosteronism.
A new report in Science finds that a few somatic KCNJ5 mutations explain a subset of aldosteroneproducing adenomas, the most frequent secondary cause of arterial hypertension. Primary aldosteronism (PAL) is the most common secondary form of arterial hypertension, with an estimated prevalence between 6% and 10% and as high as 20% in patients with resistant hypertension. In the majority of cases,...
متن کاملCombinations of Mutations Sufficient to Alter Arabidopsis Leaf Dissection
Leaves show a wide range of shapes that results from the combinatory variations of two main parameters: the relative duration of the morphogenetic phase and the pattern of dissection of the leaf margin. To further understand the mechanisms controlling leaf shape, we have studied the interactions between several loci leading to increased dissection of the Arabidopsis leaf margins. Thus, we have ...
