$30.00

Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: herbicide resistant

The “Herb” strains are a collection of mutants resistant to experimental herbicides that were being developed by Ciba-Geigy Corporation in the 1980s. In 1986-87 Anita Johnson in the Boynton-Gillham laboratory tested the effects of these herbicides on C. reinhardtii, and isolated mutants resistant to them. Six compounds were tested under coded numbers. At least two of them were eventually made available commercially, as “Amber” and “Beacon.” Both are sulfonylurea herbicides. The mutants were isolated in the CC-124 wild type background.
