Basic mutant information   
Mutant name spl29
Mutant/Transgenic mutant
Ecotype Rice (Oryza sativa)
Mutagenesis type EMS
(Semi-)Dominant/Recessive recessive
Description The spl29 mutant displayed early leaf senescence, confirmed by chlorophyll loss and photosystem II decline as physiological indicators, chloroplast degradation as a cellular characteristic, and both upregulation of senescence transcription factors and senescence-associated genes, and downregulation of photosynthesis-related genes, as molecular evidence.
