A Genetic and Phenotypic Description of Eceriferum (cer) Mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract
Mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana with brighter green stems and siliques than the wild type are called eceriferum (cer) mutants. Eighty-eight induced and one spontaneously arisen mutant were localized to 21 different loci, nine of which were mapped on one of the five Arabidopsis chromosomes. Under conditions of low humidity, we found that partial sterility was characteristic for mutants at the cer1, cer3, cer6, cer8, and cer10 loci. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a deviating epicuticular wax layer in all mutants. On the surface of some mutants we observed no wax structures, whereas these structures were changed in morphology or reduced in size and quantity on other mutants at different loci. A low number of wild-type structures correlated generally with a much glossier phenotype that was observable to the naked eye. The degree of glossiness was in general locus-specific, but at some loci “leaky” alleles were found.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
