• Strain #:
  • CC-41 cr1 mt+
  • Description:

  • Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

    Phenotype: cold sensitive on minimal medium

    Product 5.6.3 from a cross of wild type to the original ac20 cr1 double mutant (CC-154 mt-, a strain now discontinued.)

    This strain was used by Boynton et al. (1972) in their study of mutants deficient in chloroplast ribosomes, and defines the cr1 mutation in terms of chloroplast ribosome content (accumulation of 54S subunits). This strain now shows a ribosome profile on sucrose gradients more like that of the ac20 cr1 double mutant. It grows slightly on minimal medium. Scoring is easier at cool temperatures, e.g. 15 degrees.
