Abstract excerpt
Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) small subunit (RBCS) is encoded by a nuclear RBCS multigene family in many plant species. The contribution of the RBCS multigenes to accumulation of Rubisco holoenzyme and photosynthetic characteristics remains unclear. T-DNA insertion mutants of RBCS1A (rbcs1a-1) and RBCS3B (rbcs3b-1) were isolated among the four Arabidopsis RBCS genes, and a double...
