Chlorophyll (Chl) is an essential molecule for harvesting light energy in photosynthetic
organisms. We isolated yellow leaf 3 (yl3), a rice Chl-deficient mutant, which showed yellow …

Understanding the regulation mechanisms of photosynthesis is key to improving its
efficiency and, ultimately, crop yield. In this study, we report that DEEP GREEN PANICLE1 …

The Mildew resistance Locus O (MLO) family is unique to plants, containing genes that were
initially identified as a susceptibility factor to powdery mildew pathogens. However, little is …

Chlorophyll (Chl) and lutein are the two most abundant and essential components in
photosynthetic apparatus, and play critical roles in plant development. In this study, we …

Flowering time control is critically important for the reproductive accomplishment of higher
plants as floral transition can be affected by both environmental and endogenous signals …

Leaf color and photosynthesis are important factors for rice growth and development. Hence,
improving the photosynthetic rate is an effective approach for increasing rice yield. We …

The expression patterns of OsPIL11, one of six putative phytochrome-interacting factors,
were analyzed in different organs of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The …

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis and regulate normal plant
growth. Although translation elongation factors play important roles in chloroplast …

Phytochromes recognize light signals and control diverse developmental processes. In rice,
all three phytochrome genes—OsphyA, OsphyB, and OsphyC—are involved in regulating …

Rice yield is closely related to plant leaf shape and chlorophyll content. In this study, we
isolated and identified a narrow and rolled leaf mutant, temporarily named nrl3 with darker …
