Phenotype: can grow at very high light intensity
This is a spontaneous mutant selected for ability to grow and remain green at very high light intensity (1500-2000 micromole photons per square meter per second). The background strain was the herbicide-resistant mutant psbA-A251L*, obtained from a cross of strain CC-3389 to wild-type CC-124. Please see CC-3389 for more information on the A251L mutation.
