Abstract excerpt
Optimizing the antenna size by reducing the chlorophyll (Chl) content is an effective strategy to improve solar energy conversion efficiencies in dense crop monocultures. To elucidate the physiological and molecular mechanisms that regulate Chl biosynthesis and understand the effects of lower Chl content on the photosynthetic process, a light-intensity-dependent yellow-green wheat mutant (Jimai5265yg) was...
