From Paul Bolen in Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University, May 1981

From a cross by Paul Bolen in the Boynton/Gillham lab, CC-125 wild type mt+ x CC-1153 sr-u-sm2 spr-u-sp-23 er? me1.

This strain carries the me1 mutation which constitutively methylates chloroplast DNA; described by Bolen et al. Cell 28, 335-343 (1982). It may also carry a nuclear erythromycin resistance mutation, allelism of which has not be tested.
