Chlorophyll (Chl) and lutein are the two most abundant and essential components in
photosynthetic apparatus, and play critical roles in plant development. In this study, we …

Photosynthetic organisms exhibit a green color due to the accumulation of chlorophyll
pigments in chloroplasts. Mg-protoporphyrin IX chelatase (Mg-chelatase) comprises three …

In comparison with its wild type (WT), the transgenic (TG) rice with silenced OsBP-73 gene
had significantly lower plant height, grain number per panicle, and leaf net photosynthetic …

Leaf-color mutants are ideal genetic materials for understanding the mechanism of
chloroplast development and chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis. Here we isolated and identified …

Chlorophyll biosynthesis is a crucial biological process in plants, and chlorophyll content is
one of the most important traits in rice breeding programs. In this study, we identified a lethal …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Proper chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis are essential for the
photoautotrophic plants. The insertion of magnesium (Mg 2+) into protoporphyrin IX (Proto) …
