Chlorophyll is the important pigment participating in photosynthesis in plant chloroplasts.
The photosynthetic rate, the output and quality of crops are decided by synthesis of …

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 …

Chlorophyll content and fluorescence parameters are crucial indicators to evaluate the light
use efficiency in rice; however, the correlations among these parameters and the underlying …

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 …

Objectives: The aim is to identify rice virescent albino leaf mutant WGL, localize the target
gene and lay the foundation for the study of the molecular mechanism of chlorophyll …

A mapping population of 81 F11 lines (Recombinant Inbred Lines, RILs), derived from a
cross between a japonica variety Kinmaze and an indica variety DV85 by single-seed …

Chlorophyll-protein complexes of the wild type and 16 strains of chlorina mutants of rice
were investigated by gel electrophoresis. An antenna chlorophyll a/b-protein of photosystem …

Leaf-color mutations are a widely-observed class of mutations, playing an important role in
the study of chlorophyll biosynthesis and plant chloroplast structure, function, genetics and …

The steady-state transcript levels for psbA, psbD, psaA and rbcL are low in dark-grown rice
seedlings as compared to those grown in light. Following seed germination, they …

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 …
