Extreme temperatures have become a threat to crop yields. To maintain plant growth and
yield, chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis plays a crucial role in adaptation to temperature stress …

Chlorophyll (Chl) b is a ubiquitous accessory pigment in land plants, green algae, and
prochlorophytes. This pigment is synthesized from Chl a by chlorophyllide a oxygenase and …

Chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis are affected by temperature.
However, the underlying molecular mechanism of this phenomenon remains elusive. Here …

Photosynthesis is an essential biological process and a key approach for raising crop yield.
However, photosynthesis in rice is not fully investigated. This study reported the …

Chlorophyll content is one of the most important traits controlling crop biomass and
economic yield in rice. Here, we isolated a spontaneous rice mutant named thermo-sensitive …

Chlorophyll (Chl) molecules are essential for harvesting light energy in photosynthesis. A
rice high-chlorophyll mutant (Gc) with significantly increased Chl b was identified previously …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the photosynthetic properties and
transcriptomic profiles of wildtype and chlorophyll (Chl) b-lacking rice (Oryza sativa L.). The …

Key message An insert mutation of YELLOW-GREEN LEAF2, encoding Heme Oxygenase 1,
results in significant reduction of its transcript levels, and therefore impairs chlorophyll …

Photosynthetic and transcriptomic characteristics of a chlorophyll (Chl) b-deficient mutant
type 2b rice (ch14) were investigated in this study. The ultrastructure of chloroplast in ch14 …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) frequently suffers in late spring from severe damage due to cold
spells, which causes the block of chlorophyll biosynthesis during early rice seedling …
