Abstract excerpt

We are interested in the mechanism of insertion of proteins into the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and the role that accessory pigments may play in this process. For this reason we have begun a molecular analysis of mutant plants deficient in pigments that associate with thylakoid membrane prote...
