From Saul Purton, University College London, November 2012

A respiratory mutant defective in cytochrome c oxidase isolated using a colorimetric screen following insertional mutagenesis using the BLE marker carried on pSP115 (Lumbreras et al. 2001. Plant J 14: 441_447). Subsequent analysis demonstrated that the COX90 gene encoding a novel of the oxidase has been deleted in the mutant.
