From Bessie Huang, Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, October 1991

Phenotype: herbicide / colchicine resistant (amiprophos methyl, oryzalin, colchicine)

This mutant is resistant to colchicine, vinblastine, dinitroanilines (e.g. oryzalin, trifluralin), and amiprophos methyl, and shows increased sensitivity to taxol. The mutation changes Lys350 of the beta-2 tubulin gene to Glu.
