General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction Deficiency of SMT2 in the cvp1 mutant results in moderate developmental defects, including aberrant cotyledon vein patterning, serrated floral organs, and reduced stature, but plants are viable, suggesting that SMT3 activity can substitute for the loss of SMT2. The overexpression of SMT3 complements the cotyledon venation pattern defects of cvp1 (SMT2) mutants Arabidopsis thaliana
malfunction smt3 single mutants appear wild type, cvp1 smt3 double mutants show enhanced defects relative to cvp1 mutants, such as discontinuous cotyledon vein pattern, and produce novel phenotypes, including defective root growth, loss of apical dominance, sterility, and homeotic floral transformations. Antisense smt3 plants did not display a phenotype, suggesting that SMT3 and SMT2 are functionally redundant Arabidopsis thaliana
