Leaf-color mutants in rice (Oryza sativa L.) are excellent models for studying chlorophyll
biosynthesis and chloroplast development. In this study, a yellow-green-leaf mutant …

ABSTRACT A novel rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant derived from the ethyl methane sulfonate‐
treated restorer line Jinhui10 was identified that exhibited stable inheritance and was …

A chlorophyll‐deficient rice mutant, yellow‐green leaf 1 (ygl1), with a photosynthetic rate
similar to that of wild type (Oryza sativa L., cv. Zhenhui 249 China) is presented in this study …

A single dominant gene Gc controls the trait of high chlorophyll (Chl) content in rice (cultivar
(cv.) Zhenshan 97B). The contents of Chl b and total Chl increased 100% and 25 …

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 …

Chlorophyll (Chl) synthase catalyzes esterification of chlorophyllide to complete the last step
of Chl biosynthesis. Although the Chl synthases and the corresponding genes from various …

Chloroplast development and chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis in plants are regulated by many
genes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive. We isolated a rice …

ABSTRACT A white‐green leaf (wgl1) mutant, derived from Nipponbare (NIP)(Oryza sativa
L. ssp. japonica) treated with ethyl methanesulfonate, exhibited white‐green leaf variegation …

Chlorophyll is the main photosynthetic pigment and is crucial for plant photosynthesis. Leaf
color mutants are widely used to identify genes involved in the synthesis or metabolism of …

Chlorophyll is an important photosynthetic pigment in the process of photosynthesis in
plants and photosynthetic bacteria. Genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis in …
