NASC Stock Detail Page

NASC ID: N9852

Name: Langelsheim

ABRC stock number: CS9852

Description: Arabidopsis halleri exhibits naturally selected Zn and Cd hypertolerance and accumulates extraordinarily high Zn concentrations in its leaves. This stock is a cross between two langelsheim (Ernst, 1974) accessions Lan 3-1 and Lan 5.

Donation Date: 2007-03-20

Donated by:  Max-Planck-Institut für Molekulare Pflanzenphysiologie Ute Kraemer

Donor Number: Arabidopsis halleri

Stock type: individual line

Material type: seed

Comment: In Talke et al., 2006, plants were cultivated under a photoperiod of 11 hr light, 13 hr dark, at a photon flux density of 145 µmol m2 s-1during the day, and day and night temperatures of 20°C and 18°C. Please note that Arabidopsis halleri has been described to be self-incompatible (Laurens et.al., 2008, Molecular Ecology). Only 10 seeds are sent per order due to limited stock.

Phenotype

stoloniferous perennial plants; large rosettes with numerous leaves; petioles are 1-5 cm long; rosette leaf blades are orbicular or broadly ovate, 1-9 cm long and 0.5-2.5 cm wide, marginally pinnatifid or lyrate-pinnatifid, often with an orbicular (circular) terminal lobe; stems are decumbent, simple or branched above; self-compatible; siliques are linear, flattened, torulose, 0.9-2.5 cm long, 0.6-1 cm wide; fruits strongly flattened; petals 4-5-10 mm long; long seeds and usually flattened; cotyledons accumbent; replum constricted between seed. Exhibits naturally selected Zn and Cd hypertolerance and accumulates extraordinarily high Zn concentrations in its leaves.
