Abstract excerpt
Chlorophyll apoprotein accumulation and expression were examined in mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii blocked at specific steps of carotenoid or chlorophyll synthesis. In the absence of carotenoids: 1) apoproteins of the core and light-harvesting complexes of photosystem I (CCI and LHCI, respectively) and photosystem II (CCII and LHCII, respectively) do not accumulate; 2) mRNAs for the CCI, CCII, and LHCII...
