Abstract excerpt
We report here the isolation and characterization of a cotyledon-specific albino locus of Arabidopsis, WHITE COTYLEDONS (WCO). This recessive mutation in the WCO locus, located on the top of Chromosome 1, results in albino cotyledons but green true leaves. An accumulation profile of chlorophylls and ultrastructure of chloroplasts indicate that WCO is necessary for development of functional chloroplasts in...
