Abstract excerpt
Chloroplasts play an essential role in plant growth and development, and cold conditions affect chloroplast development. Although many genes or regulators involved in chloroplast biogenesis and development have been isolated and characterized, many other components affecting chloroplast biogenesis under cold conditions have not been characterized. Here, we report the functional characterization of a white stripe...
