physiological function | single T-DNA insertion mutants of cytosolic isoforms cinv1 and cinv2 appear identical to wild-type plants on soil under our growth conditions. The cinv1/cinv2 double mutant plants flower and set seed when grown on soil, but are much smaller in all respects than wild-type plants at maturity. Seedlings of cinv1/cinv2 double mutant have relatively normal shoot growth, but drastically reduced root growth on solid medium without sugar. Whereas primary root extension over 7 days of growth is 60% of the wild-type value in cinv1 mutant, and 120% of the wild-type value in cinv2, it is only 17% of the wild-type value in cinv1/cinv2 double mutants. Cells in the root expansion zone of cinv1/cinv2 mutants are enlarged and have a greater tendency to collapse during manipulation than those of wild-type and single-mutant plants. Abnormal cell divisions occur in the stele, endodermis, and cortex. Growth on glucose restores root extension in double mutants to approximately half of wild-type. Neutral invertase activity in roots is 40% lower in double mutant than in wild-type seedlings | Arabidopsis thaliana |
