Abstract excerpt
Leaf color is directly associated with plant photosynthesis. Here, we have isolated and identified a spontaneous rice mutant named yd1 that has yellowish leaves and dwarf stature. Map-based cloning reveals that YD1 encodes a previously reported kinesin protein from the kinesin-4 subfamily, BC12/GDD1. Arginine-328 is replaced by leucine in yd1, BC12328Leu. YD1 is mainly expressed in leaves and is involved in...
