Alternative splicing triggered by the insertion of a CACTA transposon attenuates LsGLK and leads to the development of pale-green leaves in lettuce.

Abstract excerpt

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. As a leafy vegetable, the polymorphism of lettuce leaves from dark to pale green is an important trait. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying such variations remain poorly understood. In this study, one major locus controlling the polymorphism of dark- and pale-green leaves in lettuce was identified using...
