The single cotyledon (sic) mutants of pea
click to view
As shown by the pictures above, the single-cotyledon mutants we found in pea have only one cotyledon
instead of two in dicots. All three of them are caused by single gene mutations at different loci. They have slightly different
morphology. Some of these mutants are fertile even as a homozygote, producing 100% single cotyledon seedlings. For more information about these single cotyledon mutants of pea, please see our recent publication in Developmental Genetics 25:11-22 (1999).
