From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, March 2014
Phenotype: requires acetate, sensitive to light
The 76-5EN nuclear mutant was isolated by Hong and Spreitzer (1994) by screening a collection of acetate-requiring mutants for lack of complementation with a known Rubisco rbcL mutant. The mutant was crossed with pf2 mt- to confirm mendelian inheritance, and this mt+ progeny clone was retained for analysis. The mutant is specifically defective in chloroplast rbcL mRNA accumulation. This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
