Improvement of leaf photosynthesis is an important strategy for greater crop productivity.
Here we show that the quantitative trait locus GPS (GREEN FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS) in …

Abstract Arabidopsis De-etiolated 1 (DET1) is one of the key repressors that maintain the
etiolated state of seedlings in darkness. The plant hormone gibberellic acid (GA) also …

Photosynthesis, as an important biological process of plants, produces organic substances
for plant growth and development. Although the molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors that affect many aspects of plant
growth, including chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis and flowering time. Here, we identified a rice …

Chlorophyll content is one of the most important traits controlling crop biomass and
economic yield in rice. Here, we isolated a spontaneous rice mutant named thermo-sensitive …

Background Filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH) is an ATP-dependent zinc
metalloprotease with ATPase activity, proteolysis activity and molecular chaperone-like …

Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis and play critical roles in plant development. In
this study, we characterized the temperature-sensitive chlorophyll-deficient rice mutant tcd5 …

Abstract Key message A DTH8/Ghd8 allele suppresses flowering by altering the expression
patterns of the 'florigen'genes, but also negatively regulates chlorophyll biogenesis. Abstract …

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