To elucidate the photosynthetic performance of rice mutant with low chlorophyll content, we
assessed light energy conversion and photosynthetic electron transport at the flowering …

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

Chlorophyll is the most important carrier of photosynthesis in plants and is therefore vital for
plant growth and development. Synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is initiated and …

Chlorophyll (Chl) plays a crucial role in plant photosynthesis. The geranylgeraniol reductase
gene (CHLP) participates in the terminal hydrogenation of chlorophyll biosynthesis …

Leaf color is an important agronomic trait in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata), but
the detailed mechanism underlying leaf color formation remains unclear. In this study, we …

Leaf growth and function play fundamental role for crop development and production. The
introduction of functional microbial strains also known as, microbial inoculants (MI) …

Chromosomal inversion is an important structural variation that usually suppresses
recombination and is critical for key genotype fixation. In a previous study, an 11.47 Mb …

Plant appearance is one of the most important characteristics affecting consumption and
breeding choices. In watermelon, except for the normal phenotypes such as the basic …

Increasing light energy utilization efficiency is an effective way to increase yield and improve
quality of watermelon. Leaf is the main place for photosynthesis, and the color of leaf is …

Leaf colour is an important agronomic trait for studying molecular mechanisms in chlorophyll
biosynthesis and chloroplast development. Here, a novel mutant oil yellow leaf 2 (Oy2) with …
