Abstract excerpt
Deoxycytidine monophosphate deaminase (dCMP deaminase, DCD) is crucial to the production of dTTP needed for DNA replication and damage repair. However, the effect of DCD deficiency and its molecular mechanism are poorly understood in plants. Here, we isolated and characterized a rice albinic leaf and growth retardation (alr) mutant that is manifested by albinic leaves, dwarf stature and necrotic lesions....
