Background As the indispensable part of plant, leaf blade mainly functions as the production
workshops where organic substance is produced by photosynthesis. Leaf colour mutation is …

Plant photosynthetic pigments are important in harvesting the light energy and transfer of
energy during photosynthesis. There are several yellow foliar mutants discovered in …

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 …

Chlorophyll is the main photosynthetic pigment and is crucial for plant photosynthesis. Leaf
color mutants are widely used to identify genes involved in the synthesis or metabolism of …

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 …

A rice mutant with light-green leaves was discovered from a transgenic line of Oryza sativa.
The mutant has reduced chlorophyll content and abnormal chloroplast morphology …

The chloroplast is an important cellular organelle and metabolic hub, which is not only
responsible for plant photosynthesis but is also involved in the de novo biosynthesis of …

Leaf color is an important trait for not only controlling crop yield but also monitoring plant
status under temperature stress. In this study, a thermo-inducible chlorophyll-deficient …

Leaf color mutations provide valuable genetic resources for elucidating the molecular
regulatory mechanisms of plant growth and serve as efficient tools for screening offspring in …
