Abstract excerpt
To identify nuclear genes involved in plastid function, we analyzed Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with albino, pale green or variegated leaves using the Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) transposon tagging system. In this study, we focused on mutants with a Ds insertion in the gene At1g32080 (AtLrgB), which encodes a homolog of the bacterial membrane protein LrgB. Although the detailed function of bacterial LrgB...
