Abstract excerpt
Eleven mutant lines exhibiting decreased numbers of chloroplasts per cell were isolated from 8 800 tagged mutant lines of Physcomitrella patens by microscopic observations. Chloronema subapical cells in wild-type plants had a mean of 48 chloroplasts, whereas chloroplast numbers in subapical cells in mutant lines 215 and 222 decreased to 75 % of that in the wild type. Seven mutant lines - 473, 122, 221, 129, 492,...
