Rice leaf color variation is a morphological phenotype that is valuable in studying plant
metabolism and physiology. Besides, the rice leaf color phenotype can also be utilized in the
breeding process. Rice plants with color mutations typically have less efficient
photosynthesis, which can result in poor growth and yield reduction. Studies of rice leaf color
mutants have led to important findings about the metabolic and regulatory mechanisms of
pigment synthesis and accumulation, chloroplast biogenesis and differentiation …
