The aim of this work was to characterize the phot1 mutant of rice during early seedling
growth in various light conditions. We isolated the rice T-DNA insertion mutant phot1a-1 and …

Chlorophyll biosynthesis plays essential roles in photosynthesis and plant growth in
response to environmental conditions. The accumulation of excess chlorophyll biosynthesis …

The biochemical mechanisms underlying the involvement of cytosolic ascorbate
peroxidases (cAPXs) in photosynthesis are still unknown. In this study, rice plants doubly …

Chlorophyll, a green pigment in photosynthetic organisms, is generated by two distinct
biochemical pathways, the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway (TBP) and the methylerythritol 4 …

The members of nonphototropic hypocotyl 1 (NPH1) family of genes in plants are
considered to be the bluelight photoreceptors for phototropism. We isolated and …

Phytochromes are the most extensively characterized photoreceptors in plants; however,
their diverse functions in the regulation of plant development have been characterized …

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 …

Enhancer trap systems have been demonstrated to increase the effectiveness of gene
identification in rice. In this study, ac hlorophyll-d eficient m utant, named oscdm1, was …

In plants, phototropins 1 (phot1) and 2 (phot2) mediate chloroplast movement to blue light
(BL). A recent report showed that phototropins (phot) are required for the expression of …

Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) regulates energy conversion in photosystem II and
protects plants from photoinhibition. Here we analyze NPQ capacity in a number of rice …
