Non Purple Green
Abstract
Brassica rapa is a small flowering plant that is often used in classroom experiments due to its small size, low-maintenance growing conditions, and quick life cycle. Several mutant lines have been bred and briefly described, although not much is known about the actual genetic changes and therefore all the downstream effects of that mutation. Nine different mutant lines of Brassica rapa were grown to more carefully identify the phenotypes affected by the mutations. We grew Non purple green to compare to the standard cultivar of B. rapa and measured anthocyanin content and plant height. The non purple green mutant was significantly shorter than the standard (t-test, P
