Mutation of the cytosolic ribosomal protein-encoding RPS10Bgene affects shoot meristematic function in Arabidopsis

Table 3 cuc3 ^a strongly enhances the effect of rps10b-1 on the development of cauline vegetative nodes

^aA T-DNA insertion allele of cuc3, GABI-KAT line GK_302G09, was used in this study.
^bThe cauline vegetative nodes along the primary inflorescence of 38–40 plants per genotype were scored by the naked eye.
