A T-DNA tagging mutant of lettuce was studied. The transgenic lettuce mutant, designated light yellowish cotyledon1 (lyc1), exhibited a chloroplast mutant phenotype in which the chloroplast development was arrested at the cotyledon stage and the cotyledon became a light yellowish due to the reduced level of chlorophyll content. A microscopic observation of the mutant showed that the chloroplasts failed to...
