Abstract excerpt
A 33-kDa protein component of the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II is essential for photosynthesis, and it has been believed that mutants with deletion of this 33-kDa protein are not found in higher plants. We report here the first isolation of an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant with a defect in one of the genes for the 33-kDa proteins, psbO, and an intact gene (psbO2). This mutant showed considerable growth...
