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 SCO1 gene encoding a copper chaperone involved in assembly of the oxidase has been deleted in the mutant.
