Abstract excerpt
The barley line albostrians exhibits a severe block in chloroplast development as a result of a mutationally induced lack of plastid ribosomes. White leaves of this mutant contain undifferentiated plastids, possess only traces of chlorophyll (Chl), and are photosynthetically inactive. Chl deficiency, combined with a continuous heme requirement, should lead to drastic changes in the tetrapyrrole metabolism in...
