CC-4103 npq2-3 npq1 lor1 arg7-8 mt- [Niyogi L2]
$30.00
From Krishna Niyogi, UC Berkeley, July 2006. This strain replaces CC-3989.
Phenotype: carotenoid deficient; requires arginine
The npq2-3 mutant was isolated as a suppressor of the high-light bleaching phenotype of the parent strain npq1 lor1 arg7-8. Mutants at the NPQ2 locus are deficient in zeaxanthin epoxidase activity. For more information on the NPQ1 and NPQ2 loci, please see Niyogi et al. (1997). For more on lor1, please see CC-2420.
