Abstract excerpt
Mutants with abnormal leaf coloration are good genetic materials for understanding the mechanism of chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis. In this study, a rice mutant st2 (stripe2) with stripe leaves was identified from the γ-ray irradiated mutant pool. The st2 mutant exhibited decreased accumulation of chlorophyll and aberrant chloroplasts. Genetic analysis indicated that the st2 mutant was...
