Germplasm
Description (aka hcf9) missing PSII thylakoid membrane core complex; green seedling. Green
seedling, fluorescence induction kinetics class VII and deficient in thylakoid
manganese (Leto and Miles 1977; Miles 1980, 1982; Metz and Miles 1982; Leto et
al. 1985). Resistant to diquat (Miles and Leto 1975). Uncovered by TB-1Sb; TB-1Sb-
2L4464 (Leto and Miles 1977; Leto 1982; Miles et al. 1985); near npi286 (Burr).
Not allelic to hcf1, hcf15, hcf19 (Leto and Miles 1977). W. Cook has now cloned
the hcf3 gene from normal maize using the Mu tag. Primary deficiency in
photosystem II core complex assembly. Certain PSII polypeptides (32kDa and
47kDa) integrate into thylakoids, then rapidly degrade and at least one PSII
polypeptide (51kDa) does not form (Leto and Arntzen 1980; Leto et al. 1985).
Small, less-compact grana (Miles and Daniel 1974). Freeze fracture EM shows
reduction in large EF particles of grana (Miller 1980; Similar PSII-less
phenotype associated with other alleles: hcf3-9, EMS-induced allele (Leto and
Miles 1979); hcf3-Mu, Mutator-induced (Cook and Miles 1988). Fast (50-120 ps)
fluorescence decay kinetics of thylakoid chlorophyll is not affected by light
intensity in hcf3 (Green et al. 1984). Classification: excellent hcf trait. This
is perhaps the most striking hcf trait. Difficult to classify as a slightly pale
green leaf trait. Viability: lethal at 3-leaf stage. (Polacco). Not allelic to
hcf1 or hcf15. Genetic 2005 1 coordinates determined from these recombination
and map data: (p1 -0- hcf3); see MaizeGDB ID:934700. This gene was originally
curated in MaizeGDB Database and the map position was displayed on the maize
bins map if feasible.
