$30.00

From Udo Johanningmeier, spring 1990

Phenotype: herbicide resistant (metribuzin)

The MZ2 mutation was obtained by treatment of strain 2137 (see CC-3269) with 5-fluorodeoxyuridine treatment plus ethyl methanesulfonate. It changes Ala to Val at position 251 of the D1 protein, conferring resistance to metribuzin.
