Abstract excerpt
Light-independent protochlorophyllide reduction leading to chlorophyll formation in the dark requires both chloroplast and nuclear gene expression in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Mutations in any one of the plastid (chlL, chlN, and chlB) or nuclear (y-1 to y-10) genes required for this process result in the phenotype of the yellow-in-the-dark or y mutants. Analysis of the chlL, chlN, and chlB transcript levels in...
