A chloroplast gene is required for the light-independent accumulation of chlorophyll in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract excerpt

The light-independent pathway of chlorophyll synthesis which occurs in some lower plants and algae is still largely unknown. We have characterized a chloroplast mutant, H13, of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which is unable to synthesize chlorophyll in the dark and is also photosystem I deficient. The mutant has a 2.8 kb deletion as well as other rearrangements of its chloroplast genome. By performing particle gun...
