Basic mutant information   
Mutant name SAUR36 overexpressing plants
Mutant/Transgenic transgenic
Ecotype Col-0
Mutagenesis type transgene
(Semi-)Dominant/Recessive dominant
Description transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing SAUR36 (without its 3-UTR) displayed an early leaf senescence phenotype. However, plants overexpressing SAUR36 with its 3-UTR were normal and did not exhibit the early senescence phenotype. These data suggest that SAUR36 is a positive regulator of leaf senescence and may mediate auxin-induced leaf senescence and that the 3-UTR containing a highly conserved downstream (DST) destabilizes the SAUR36 transcripts in young leaves.
