Abstract excerpt
The development of functional chloroplasts, which is assisted by a series of nuclear-encoded auxiliary protein factors, is essential for plant autotrophic growth and development. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying chloroplast development, we isolated and characterized a pigment-defective mutant, pdm2, and its corresponding variegated RNA interference (RNAi) lines in Arabidopsis. Sequence analysis...
