Abstract excerpt
We report genetic evidence supporting the existence of suppressor genes in the chloroplast that act on a mitochondrial mutation that impairs heterotrophic growth in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. One of these suppressors also acts on a point mutation in the rbcL gene in the chloroplast. These results are consistent with previous data showing that mitochondrial protein synthesis depends on chloroplast...
