$30.00

From Carolyn Silflow, University of Minnesota, July 1994

Phenotype: herbicide resistant (amiprophos methyl, oryzalin)

This is a single colony isolate of the strain SJ863-D6 (tua1 nit2 mt-). The original mutant was designated upA12. The tua1 mutation is a missense mutation changing Tyr to Hys at amino acid residue 24 in the alpha-tubulin 1 gene. It confers resistance to 8.5 micromolar amiprophos methyl. The tua1 mutant is also resistant to oryzalin, and is more sensitive to taxol than wild type.
