physiological function | T-DNA disruptions of the UPL3 locus do not affect overall growth and morphology, but display aberrant trichome morphology. Many mutant trichomes contain five or more branches instead of three branches. Mutant trichoimes often undergo an additional round of endoreplication resulting in enlarged nuclei with ploidy levels of up to 64C. Mutant plants are hypersensitive to gibberellic acid-3. The phenotype of upl3 mutants is similar to that of kaktus, a set of trichome mutants with supernumerary branches. UPL3 mutants and kaktus-2 are allelic with kaktus-2 plants harboring a splice-site mutation within the UPL3-transcribed region | Arabidopsis thaliana |
