A variegated tea plant (Camellia sinensis) with a stable, ecologically insensitive albino
phenotype with both variegated and normal leaves was obtained from Huangshan, China …

Photosynthesis, a fundamental process for plant growth and development, is dependent on
chloroplast formation and chlorophyll synthesis. Severe disruption of chloroplast structure …

Abstract The Orange (Or) gene is a gene mutation that can increase carotenoid content in
plant tissues normally devoid of pigments. It affects plastid division and is involved in the …

Chlorophyll (Chl)-deficient mutants are ideal materials for the study of Chl biosynthesis,
chloroplast development, and photosynthesis. Although the genes encoding key enzymes …

The β-carotene hydroxylase gene (BCH) regulates zeaxanthin production in response to
high light levels ro protect Chrysanthemum morifolium plants against light-induced damage …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought and salinity, are major limiting factors for plant growth and
reproduction. Carotenoids play key roles in response to abiotic stresses. To identify the role …
