Question
Choose any two (2) genes from the following list and provide its (a) cellular function, (b) cellular or tissue localization, and (c) loss-of-function (knockout) mutant pheno type. An example is given for a gene we did not discuss in class. FASS, GNOM, MONOPTEROS, WUSCHEL, CLAVATA mple: Gene: SHORTROOT (SHR) Molecular function: transcription factor ocalization: root vascular tissue utant phenotype: fails to form endodermis leading to impaired root development ort Essay. any TWO (2) of the following questions. Provide as much detail as possible in Diagrams may be used but your answer should also include a narrative holf nage. (10 pts ea.)Explanation / Answer
GENE: Clavata
MOLECULAR FUNCTION: Clavata1 - Serine theronine kinase
Clavata 2- Transmembrane receptor
Clavata3- Protein
LOCALIZATION: Extracellular space
MUTANT PHENOTYPE: Excess plant height due to SAM (shoot apical meristem) accumulation and formation of shoot meristem dome
GENE: Wuschel
MOLECULAR FUNCTION: Transcription factor
LOCALIZATION: Extracellular space
MUTANT PHENOTYPE: Stem cells undergo differentiation, no apical meristem, no plant growth.
