RNA transcribed from Sgs3e is 820bp in the Formosa strain compared to 1120bp in Oregon-R.
Contains 17 repeat units of 15bp in the Sgs3 coding region compared to the 37 repeat units of 15bp found in Oregon-R.
produces a smaller polypeptide than other alleles.
The Sgs3 gene from the wild-type Formosa strain has been sequenced and compared with the Oregon-R sequence.
