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 …

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 …

Leaf-color mutants have been extensively studied in rice, and many corresponding genes
have been identified up to now. However, leaf-color mutation mechanisms are diverse and …

The nuclear-encoded light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins (LHCPs) are
specifically translocated from the stroma into the thylakoid membrane through the …

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 …

Rice leaf color variation is a morphological phenotype that is valuable in studying plant
metabolism and physiology. Besides, the rice leaf color phenotype can also be utilized in the …

Leaf color mutants commonly found in rice have important implications in basic research
and breeding science. In this study, we isolated a pale-green leaf mutant (pgl10) from 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 …

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 …

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