White mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are defective in phytoene synthase.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2004

McCarthy Sarah S, Kobayashi Marilyn C, Niyogi Krishna K

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids play an integral and essential role in photosynthesis and photoprotection in plants and algae. A collection of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants lacking carotenoids was characterized for pigment and tocopherol (vitamin E) composition, growth phenotypes under different light conditions, and the molecular basis of their mutant phenotype. The carotenoid-less mutants, or "white" mutants, were also...
