1.8.3.6 additional information T-DNA insertions mutants fcly-1 and fcly-2 plants exhibit reduced FCLY mRNA levels, as determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and reduced FC lyase activity compared with Columbia (Col-0) and wild-type siblings. Significantly, germination of fcly-1 and fcly-2 seeds is inhibited by exogenous ABA at concentrations that did not affect wild-type Col-0 seeds -, 710279 1.8.3.6 additional information To generate the fcly-1:ICMTox and fcly-2:ICMTox lines, fcly-1 and fcly-2 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana are transformed with a recombinant binary vector pCL108 containing the CaMV 35S promoter and the AtSTE14B coding sequence. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101/pMP90 and the floral dip method are used for plant transformation 710018
