Name: myb12 KO
ABRC stock number: CS9602
Description: Alleles to stock:myb12-1f. The isolation of insertion mutants from the En/Spm mutagenized AMAZE2 population (Wisman et al., 1998) was described previously (Meissner et al., 1999). HPLC analysis of the progeny of the homozygous myb12::En-1 line that did display wild-type-like PCR fragments led to the recovery of the homozygous myb12-1f line, which showed reduced levels of flavonols in the absence of an En-1 element at the MYB12 locus. This line was backcrossed five times to wild type (accession Col-0) to give rise to an En-free homozygous myb12-1f mutant. The myb12-1f allele was checked by sequencing. PCR analysis confirmed the absence of intact En-elements in the genome of myb12-1f plants.

Phenotype
Results from the myb12-1f allele indicate that an activation domain might be present in the C-terminus. myb12 knock-out plants do not show any obvious phenotype under greenhouse conditions. Young myb12-ko seedlings contain reduced amounts of flavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol). They did not show any significant difference in anthocyanin content. Expression of CHS and FLS shows a clear correlation to MYB12 expression levels. CHI and F3H expression levels show no differences in the knock-out. Even in the absence of functional MYB12, flavonol biosynthesis is not completely absent, suggesting functional redundancy.
