Chlorophyll (Chl) and lutein are the two most abundant and essential components in
photosynthetic apparatus, and play critical roles in plant development. In this study, we …

Chlorophylls absorb and transfer light energy to the photosynthetic system. Consequently,
chlorophyll content is strongly related to crop biomass and yield. We isolated a rice …

Effects of temperature on leaf color and chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis of mutant W1 in rice
were studied. The mutant Wl belonged to a temperature-sensitive type and the critical …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaf color mutants are excellent models for studying chlorophyll
biosynthesis and chloroplast development. In this study, we isolated a stable genetic white …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is an essential molecule for harvesting light energy in photosynthetic
organisms. We isolated yellow leaf 3 (yl3), a rice Chl-deficient mutant, which showed yellow …

At low temperatures (18° C), seedlings of an indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Kasalath
showed symptoms of chlorosis, although the leaves of a japonica cultivar Arroz da Terra …

Chlorophyll metabolic pathways and chloroplast development have been studied
systematically by both biochemical and genetic approaches. However, the effect of them on …

Chlorophyll is an essential molecule for acquiring light energy during photosynthesis.
Mutations that result in chlorophyll retention during leaf senescence are called 'stay …

Chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth. Glutamyl-
tRNA reductase (GluTR) catalyzes glutamyl-tRNA into glutamate-1-semialdehyde (GSA) and …

To understand the impact of water stress on the greening process, water stress was applied
to 6‐day‐old etiolated seedlings of a drought‐sensitive cultivar of rice (Oryza sativa), Pusa …
