Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Pea A and A2 genes were identified.
- Observation The A gene encodes a bHLH transcription factor.
- Mechanism The likely Mendelian white-flower allele is a G-to-A splice-site transition producing mis-spliced mRNA with a premature stop codon.
- Observation A second rare mutant allele was identified.
- Observation A2 encodes a WD40 protein in an evolutionarily conserved regulatory complex.
