A rice etiolation mutant 824ys featured with chlorophyll deficiency was identified from a
normal green rice variety 824B. It showed whole green-yellow plant from the seedling stage …

Leaf chlorophyll content is an important physiological indicator of plant growth, metabolism
and nutritional status, and it is highly correlated with leaf nitrogen content and …

Leaf anatomy determining the light distribution within the leaf and exerting influence on CO2
diffusion is considered to have dramatic potential for photosynthesis performance increase …

Key message Ds insertion in rice OsPS1-F gene results in semi-dwarf plants with reduced
tiller number and grain yield, while genetic complementation with OsPS1-F rescued the …

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 …

Photosynthetic efficiency, a key trait that determines yield potential in rice, is quantitatively
regulated by multiple genes. Utilization of valuable genetic resources hidden in wild rice is …

Light is the driving force of plant growth, providing the energy required for photosynthesis.
However, photosynthesis is also vulnerable to light-induced damage caused by the …

A tobacco chloroplast hypothetical open reading frame 4 (YCF4) has been reported as a
non-essential assembly factor for photosynthesis based on an incomplete knockout of YCF4 …

Comparative analysis revealed that a xantha rice mutant (cv. Huangyu B) had higher ratios
of chlorophyll (Chl) a/b and carotenoids/Chl, and higher photosynthetic efficiency than its …

Leaves are derived from heterotrophic meristem tissue that, at some point, must make the
transition to autotrophy via the initiation of photosynthesis. However, the timing and spatial …
