Elizabeth Harris, Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: cold sensitive on minimal medium

This mutant accumulates some 41S and some 54S subunits of chloroplast ribosomes, or poorly defined mixed subunit material, and is very deficient in 70S ribosomes.

Myers et al. showed that cr7 and its allele cr6 fail to assemble to proteins of the large subunit of the chloroplast ribosome, one normally synthesized in the chloroplast and one in the cytoplasm.
