Germplasm Phenotype:

• CS69208  — Homozygotes have poor growth; severely reduced fertility due to aborted embryos (loss of proper embryomorphogenesis); hypersensitivity of the root to calcium and brassinosteroids; defects in sterol biosynthesis and reduced growth resulting in short hypocotyls, shorter petioles, shorter stem, smaller and rounder leaves, and stunted siliques
• CS73203  — embryonic patterning defects; delay in development; extremely variably seedling phenotypes
• CS73204  — embryonic patterning defects; delay in development
• CS73205  — weak post-embryonic phenotype; delay in development; extremely variably seedling phenotypes
• smt1  — embryo defective
