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 …

Key message OsDG2 gene encoded a novel chloroplast-targeted GRP in rice. Disruption of
the OsDG2 would lead to delayed greening phenotype and affected expression levels of …

Key message GARS encodes an enzyme catalyzing the second step of purine nucleotide
biosynthesis and plays an important role to maintain the development of chloroplasts in …

Rice leaf color mutants play a great role in research about the formation and development of
chloroplasts and the genetic mechanism of the chlorophyll (Chl) metabolism pathway. pgl3 …

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 …

Leaf chloroplast ultrastructure and photosynthetic properties of a natural, yellow-green leaf
mutant (ygl1) of rice were characterized. Our results showed that chloroplast development …

Accurate regulation of chlorophyll synthesis is crucial for chloroplast formation during the
greening process in angiosperms. In this study, we examined the role of phytochrome B …

Chlorophyll plays remarkable and critical roles in photosynthetic light-harvesting, energy
transduction and plant development. In this study, we identified a rice Chl-deficient mutant …

Key message YGL8 has the dual functions in Chl biosynthesis: one as a catalytic subunit of
MgPME cyclase, the other as a core component of FLU-YGL8-LCAA-POR complex in Chl …

A novel bright-green leaf mutant, bgl11, derived from Nipponbare (Oryza sativa L. ssp.
japonica) treated by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), exhibited a distinct bright-green leaf …
