説明

<jats:p>Ionizing radiation is expected to produce mutants with deletions or other chromosomal rearrangements. These mutants are useful for a variety of purposes, such as creating null alleles and cloning genes whose existence is known only from their mutant phenotype; however, only a few mutations generated by ionizing radiation have been characterized at the molecular level in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</jats:italic>. Twenty fast neutron‐generated alleles of the <jats:italic>Arabidopsis HY4</jats:italic> locus, which encodes a blue light receptor, CRY1, were isolated and characterized. Nine of the mutant alleles displayed normal genetic behavior. The other 11 mutant alleles were poorly transmitted through the male gametophyte and were lethal in homozygous plants. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that alleles of the first group generally contain small or moderate‐sized deletions at <jats:italic>HY4</jats:italic>, while alleles of the second group contain large deletions at this locus. These results demonstrate that fast neutrons can produce a range of deletions at a single locus in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic>. Many of these deletions would be suitable for cloning by genomic subtraction or representational difference analysis. The results also suggest the presence of an essential locus adjacent to <jats:italic>HY4</jats:italic>.</jats:p>
