Key message A SNP mutation in CmYGP gene encoding Golden2-like transcription factor is
responsible for melon yellow-green plant trait. Abstract Chlorophylls are essential and …

Leaf color mutants are important materials for studying chloroplast and
photomorphogenesis, and can function as basic germplasms for genetic breeding. In an …

Reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is a common way to study gene
regulation at the transcriptional level due to its sensibility and specificity, but it needs …

Leaf color mutants are the ideal materials to explore the pathways of chlorophyll
metabolism, chloroplast development and photosynthesis system. In this study, a new …

Background Leaf color mutants are ideal materials to study pigment metabolism and
photosynthesis. Leaf color variations are mainly affected by chlorophylls (Chls) and …

The conversion of light energy into chemical energy in leaves is very important for plant
growth and development. During this process, chlorophylls and their derivatives are …

Background Leaf color mutants have reduced photosynthetic efficiency, which has severely
negative impacts on crop growth and economic product yield. There are different chlorophyll …

The plant branching habit is a unique morphological trait of watermelon that regulates the
plant architecture as well as crop yield, but the in-depth understanding of molecular …

Mutants are crucial to extending our understanding of genes and their functions in higher
plants. In this study a spontaneous cucumber mutant, yf, showed yellow color leaves, had …

Populus deltoides Marsh has high ornamental value because its leaves remain yellow
during the non-dormant period. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism of …
