accession	name	species	phenotype ontology	description
CE10	CE10	M. cardinalis	wild-type	Reference strain with genome sequenced
LF10	LF10	M. lewisii	wild-type	wild-type (reference strain with genome sequenced)
LF10-lar1	LF10-lar1	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	A near-isogenic line (NIL) in the LF10 background, with the LAR1 locus substituted by the M. cardinalis CE10 version. LAR1 encodes a subgroup-7 R2R3-MYB that activates flavonol biosynthesis. Reference: Yuan et al. 2016. PNAS 113: 2448–2453.
LF10-roi1	LF10-roi1	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	A near-isogenic line (NIL) in the LF10 background, with the ROI1 locus substituted by the M. cardinalis CE10 version. ROI1 encodes an R3-MYB that represses anthocyanin biosynthesis. Reference: Reference: Yuan et al. 2013. Genetics 194: 255-263.
ML10082	guideless	M. lewisii	flower, Carotenoid pigmentation, trichome	Mutation in a Mixta-like (Subgroup 9) R2R3-MYB gene. Trichomes on the petal are very short and stunted. Conical cells on the inner epidermis become flatter. Carotenoids in the nectar guides are much reduced. Reference: Yuan et al. 2013. Genetics 194: 523-528.
ML10346	rcp1-1	M. lewisii	flower, Carotenoid pigmentation	Mutation in a subgroup 21 R2R3-MYB gene. Carotenoid content in the nectar guides is substantially reduced compared to the wild-type. Reference: Sagawa et al. 2016. New Phytologist. 209: 1049-1057.
ML10422	fns-1	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	Mutation in the Flavone Synthase (FNS) gene, causing an over-dominance in flower color intensity. Reference: LaFountain et al. 2017. G3. 7: 3947-3954
ML10863	pelan/boo3	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	Mutation in a subgroup 6 R2R3-MYB gene. Anthocyanin production is abolished in petal lobes, but not affected in other tissues, including the nectar guides. Reference: Yuan et al. 2014. New Phytologist. 204: 1013–1027.
ML11431	wd40a-1/boo5	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	Mutation in the WD40a gene, encoding an indispensable component of the anthocyanin-activating MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex. Anthocyanin production is abolished in all tissue types. Reference: Yuan et al. 2014. New Phytologist. 204: 1013–1027.
ML11689	corolla lobeless	M. lewisii	flower, Corolla limb	The distal portion of lateral organs is less developed, most conspicuously the corolla lobes.
ML12255	cheekless1	M. lewisii	flower, whole plant	Cotyledons are fused. Some leaf pairs are fused too. Flowers have reduced number of petals, usually 3, sometimes less, but the ventral petal is always present.
ML12267	chsa-1/boo12	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	A mutation in the CHSa gene that abolishes anthocyanin production in all tissue types throughout the plant. A strong chsa allele.
ML12314	dfr-1	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	A mutation in the DFR gene that abolishes anthocyanin production in all tissue types throughout the plant. A strong dfr allele.
ML12378	cheekless2	M. lewisii	whole plant, flower	Allelic to cheekless1, with stronger phenotypes. Cotyledons are fused. Some leaf pairs are fused too. Most flowers have a single petal (the ventral petal), sometimes more.
ML12450	anbhlh1-1/boo14	M. lewisii	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	Mutation in the ANbHLH1 gene, encoding an indispensable component of the anthocyanin-activating MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex. Anthocyanin production is abolished in the petal lobe and stem base and much reduced in the nectar guides, but not affected in other tissues. Reference: Yuan et al. 2014. New Phytologist. 204: 1013–1027.
ML14257	act1-D	M. lewisii	whole plant, Corolla tube	A semi-dominant mutation in the ACTIN1 gene, causing reduced width of lateral organs but no effect on length. Reference: Ding et al. 2017. New Phytologist. 213: 1936-1944.
ML20169	yaoming	M. lewisii	whole plant	A dominant mutant with much taller stem
ML20400	short tube1	M. lewisii	flower, Corolla tube	Shorter corolla tube, but normal corolla lobes.
MV00025	mvrcp2-1	M. verbenaceus	flower	Mutation in RCP2, encoding a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein that regulates carotenoid biosynthesis and chromoplast development. Carotenoid pigments in the corolla are almost entirely gone, giving the flower a purple hue. Reference: Stanley et al. 2020. Plant Cell 32: 1536–1555.
McCI	McCI	M. cardinalis	flower, Anthocyanin pigmentation	A natural mutant on the southern end of the species range (Cedros Island, Baja California, Mexico) with the PELAN gene down-regulated, most likely due to cis-element mutation(s) at PELAN. Reference: Yuan et al. 2014. New Phytologist. 204: 1013–1027.
