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 …

[Objective] Biosynthesis of chlorophyll comprises a number of challenging topics.
Chlorophyll-deficient mutants play an important role in exploring biochemical and molecular …

Chlorophyll is an essential pigment involved in light absorption and electron transfer in
photosynthesis, a photochemical process that is indispensable for plant growth and …

Plant photosynthesis is determined by chlorophyll (Chl) metabolism, which is an important
factor of determining crop yield. The genes involved in Chl biosynthesis, catabolism, and …

Leaf color is a highly important agronomic trait, and mutants with altered leaf coloration can
serve as excellent models for studies on chloroplast development and chlorophyll …

Leaf color mutants serve as ideal materials for studying photosynthesis, chlorophyll
metabolism, and other physiological processes. Here, we identified a spontaneous yellow …

Chloroplast plays an important role in the plant life cycle. However, the details of its
development remain elusive in rice. In this study, we report the fine-mapping of a novel rice …

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 …

Phytochromes are sensory photoreceptors associated with the photomorphogenesis of
plants. Rice has 3 phytochromes (phy); phyA, phyB and phyC. To understand the role of …

Leaf color-related mutants are important materials to study the chlorophyll biosynthesis and
chloroplast development. Here, we isolated and characterized a thermosensitive yellow …
