Abstract excerpt
The maize mutation high chlorophyll fluorescence 60-muTable 1 (hcf60-m1), generated through Activator (Ac) tagging, has insufficient photosynthetic electron transport. Here we show that the Hcf60 gene encodes a protein with substantial amino acid similarity to plant plastid and bacterial ribosomal small subunit protein 17 (RPS17) proteins. The lack of detectable HCF60 transcripts in mutant leaves, and insertion...
