[Objective] The current study was conducted aiming at phenotypic characterization and
candidate gene analysis of the yellow-green mutant ygl13, so as to add to our knowledge of …

Leaf‐color mutants have been extensively studied in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and many
corresponding genes have been identified and cloned. However, the mechanism of complex …

Leaf-color is an effective marker to identify the hybridization of rice. Leaf-color related genes
function in chloroplast development and the photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis of higher …

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 …

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

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 …

A mutant, which derived from the restorer line Jinhui10 treated with EMS, showed
completely yellow green leaves, and it had low chlorophyll content and poor agronomic …

Yellow leaf mutants are useful genetic variants to explore the mechanism of chloroplast
development. In this study, we developed and characterized a new rice (Orzya sativa L.) …

Background As the indispensable part of plant, leaf blade mainly functions as the production
workshops where organic substance is produced by photosynthesis. Leaf colour mutation is …

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 …
