Abstract excerpt
Isolation of leaf-color mutants is important in understanding the mechanisms of chloroplast biogenesis and development. In this study, we identified and characterized a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, yellow leaf 2 (yl2), exhibiting pale yellow leaves with a few longitudinal white stripes at the early seedling stage then gradually turning yellow. Genetic analyses revealed that YL2 encodes a thylakoid...
