Part of the chlL gene encoding a component involved in light-independent
protochlorophyllide reduction was deleted in wild type and in a photosystem I-less strain of …

The chlL gene encodes one subunit of the light-independent protochlorophyllide reductase.
A chlL-lacking mutant of the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum is unable to synthesize …

Rates of chlorophyll synthesis and degradation were analyzed in Synechocystis sp. PCC
6803 wild type and mutants lacking one or both photosystems by labeling cells with (15NH4) …

Abstract We cloned a 6.0-kb Hin dIII fragment from the cyanobacterium Plectonema
boryanum using the chloroplast chlB (ORF513) gene of the liverwort (Marchantia …

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast gene chlL (frxC) is shown to be involved in the
light-independent conversion of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide. The polypeptide …

A chloroplast-encoded gene, designated chlB, has been isolated from Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii, its nucleotide sequence determined, and its role in the light-independent …

Light-independent chlorophyll synthesis occurs in some algae, lower plants, and
gymnosperms, but not in angiosperms. We have identified a new chloroplast gene, chlB, that …

Light-independent protochlorophyllide reduction leading to chlorophyll formation in the dark
requires both chloroplast and nuclear gene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

In most oxygenic phototrophs, including cyanobacteria, two independent enzymes catalyze
the reduction of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide, which is the penultimate step in …

The gene coding for the light‐dependent NADPH: protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase
(POR) was interrupted or deleted in a Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 strain lacking …
