Abstract excerpt
Photosynthesis-deficient mutants of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were previously shown to arise from nonsense mutations within the chloroplast rbcL gene, which encodes the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39). Photosynthesis-competent revertants of these nonsense mutants have often been found to be stably heteroplasmic, giving rise to both mutant and revertant...
