Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a woody ornamental plant popularly grown because
of its long-lasting, midsummer blooms and beautiful colors. The GL1 dominant mutant is the …

Lagerstroemia indica is a popular woody ornamental plant throughout the world. However,
relatively little is known about the molecular processes regulating leaf color in L. indica …

GL1 is a golden-yellow leaf mutant that cultivated from natural bud-mutation of
Lagerstroemia indica and has a very low level of photosynthetic pigment under sunlight …

Although the underlying mechanisms of chlorophyll biosynthesis have been intensively
deciphered in model plants, leaf color mutants have not yet been fully studied in woody …

Chlorophyll is one of the key factors for photosynthesis and plays an important role in plant
growth and development. We previously isolated an EMS mutagenized rapeseed …

Lagerstroemia indica is an important ornamental tree worldwide. The development of
cultivars with colorful leaves and increased ornamental value represents one of the current …

Background: Mutant analysis remains one of the main genetic tools for characterising
unclarified gene functions in plants, especially in non-model plants. Daylily (Hemerocallis …

Chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development are crucial to photosynthesis and
plant growth, but their regulatory mechanism remains elusive in many crop species. We …

Leaf color mutants are valuable resources for studying regulatory mechanisms of
photosynthetic pigment metabolism. In this study, a chlorophyll-deficient golden leaf mutant …

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 …
