Abstract excerpt
Functional chloroplast generation depends on the precise coordination of gene expression between the plastid and the nucleus and is essential for plant growth and development. In this study, a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant that exhibited albino and seedling-lethal phenotypes was isolated from a60Co-irradiated rice population. The mutant gene was identified as an ortholog of the Arabidopsis plastid transcriptionally...
