The sfr3 mutation causes freezing sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana.Mapping, sequencing, and trangenic complementation showed sfr3 to be a missense in ACC1, an essential gene encoding homomeric (multifunctional) acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Cuticle permeability was compromised in the sfr3 mutant when p...
