| Description | Six different mutations with defects in immature seed development have been identified during screening of a T-DNA collection of Arabidopsis thaliana. The mutations were confirmed to be monogenic and recessive-lethal by genetic analysis. Mutant embryos were blocked in certain steps in the process necessary for embryo viability and development, and therefore they belong to the embryo-lethal class of mutants. The genetic and morphological studies of T-DNA mutations affecting embryo development are presented. |
