| Description | The genetic analysis of seven new late-flowering mutants is reported. One mutation was found to be recessive (dn) and six to be dominant. The relevant loci were located at distinct positions on chromosomes one and four. A new protocol for converting RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) markers to CAPS (Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences) as PCR-based markers was developed using the Arabidopsis thaliana genome database. RFLP marker MI122 was successfully converted to a CAPS, which allowed more precise mapping of five late-flowering mutations. |
