Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic line 2 (CL2) is a chlorophyll mutant that was selected from a plastid mutator genotype in barley. The dynamics of greening and plastid development of CL2 first-leaf blade contrasts with that of monocots. Previous characterizations of CL2 suggested that this mutant has a delay of plastid gene translation during embryogenesis. We hypothesize that CL2 is a mutant in the infA gene, which encodes...
