Phenotype
Embryo-defective; retardation of embryo development before the heart stage even though embryo morphology remains normal; defective embryos with highly reduced cotyledons beyond the heart stage; embryos exhibit a normal apical-basal pattern and radial tissue organization but they are morphologically retarded; embryos also exhibit a defect in plastid development: they remain white during maturation in planta and in culture; encodes the chaperonin-60alpha protein (CPN60 alpha) important for chloroplast development and subsequently for the proper development of the plant embryo and seedling. GeneBank number: U49357
