Fig. 4. The lng1-1D phenotype is caused by overexpression of
LNG1 (At5g15580). (A) Schematic representation of the
T-DNA insertion site in the lng1-1D mutant. BAR, Basta resistance
(Bastar). 4x35S denotes four copies of the 35S enhancer.
(B) Northern blot analysis of neighboring genes. The bottom panel shows
total RNA. (C) LNG1 and its homologs in Arabidopsis
and rice. The unrooted phylogenetic tree was generated by a maximum parsimony
method using the PHYLIP program. Numbers in the tree indicate bootstrap
values. LNG1, At5g15580; LNG2, At3g02170; XP_476397, XP_479072 and AAR01707
include the Oryza sativa. (D-G) Recapitulation analysis with
wild type (D), lng1-1D (E), 35S:LNG1 (F) and
35S:LNG2 (G). The plants were photographed 27 days after seeds were
sown in the greenhouse.
