Abstract excerpt
The barley plastome mutant CL2 (cytoplasmic line 2) carries a point mutation in the infA gene, a homologue of the bacterial gene for the conserved translation initiator factor 1 (IF1). The function of infA in plastids is not known. The mutation in CL2 leads to a temporal chlorophyll deficiency in the primary leaf blade that is normalised in the basal and middle parts during further development. We have compared...
