From Steven Ball, Lille University of Science and Technology, March 1992, his strain 18B

Phenotype: altered starch metabolism

This mutant, which was isolated in the 137c background, is amylose-defective, and accumulates a modified amylopectin. The st2 mutants are analogous to waxy (amylose-deficient) endosperm mutants of higher plants.
