Early spring cold spells can lead to leaf chlorosis during the rice seedling greening process.
However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the rice greening …

Albino mutants are useful genetic resource for studying chlorophyll biosynthesis and
chloroplast development and cloning genes involved in these processes in plants. Here we …

To evaluate the effect of changes in chlorophyll (Chl) composition and fluorescence on final
yield formation, early senescence leaf (esl) mutant rice and its wild-type cultivar were …

The net photosynthesis and photosynthetic N use efficiency (PNUE) of a rice mutant with
reduced chlorophyll synthesis were much higher than those of its wild type (WT). To …

The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of chlorophyll (Chl), biosynthetic
intermediates (protoporphyrin IX, magnesium protoporphyrin IX, and protochlorophyllide) …

Introduction Light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (LHCB) protein complexes of
photosystem II are integral to the formation of thylakoid structure and the photosynthetic …

The nuclear genes involved in chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis must
be investigated to understand their functions in plant growth and development. In this study …

Leaf color is an important trait for not only controlling crop yield but also monitoring plant
status under temperature stress. In this study, a thermo-inducible chlorophyll-deficient …

This study was carried out to find varietal response to heat stress by chlorophyll
fluorescence. Chlorophyll fluorescence is closely correlated with photosynthetic rate. Field …
