Key message The cucumber chlorophyll-deficient golden leaf mutation is due to a single
nucleotide substitution in the CsChlI gene for magnesium chelatase I subunit which plays …

Setaria italica and its wild ancestor Setaria viridis are emerging as model systems for
genetics and functional genomics research. However, few systematic gene mapping or …

Background The structural basis of chloroplast and the regulation of chloroplast biogenesis
remain largely unknown in maize. Gene mutations in these pathways have been linked to …

The growth and development of plants are dependent on the interaction between carbon
and nitrogen metabolism. Essential information about the metabolic regulation of carbon …

A novel yellow-green leaf mutant yellow-green leaf-1 (ygl-1) was isolated in self-pollinated
progenies from the cross of maize inbred lines Ye478 and Yuanwu02. The mutant …

As a common mutation trait in plants, leaf colour mutation is related to the degree of
chlorophyll and anthocyanin changes and the destruction of chloroplast structure. This study …

Rice blast is a damaging disease caused by Magnaportheoryzae. Marker-assisted selection
of blast resistance genes could help develop cultivars with blast resistance. Pigm is a broad …

Abstract Low crop Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) is an economic and environmental burden.
Rice is an attractive target for NUE improvement in India, due to its highest N-fertilizer …

An EMS (ethy methanesulfonate)-induced lethal etiolated (le) mutant obtained from the rice
variety Zhongjian 100 was characterized by lethal etiolated phenotypes, with significantly …
