Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leaf color mutants serve as valuable models for investigating chloroplast development, chlorophyll metabolism, and photosynthetic regulation. However, research on oat mutagenesis remains limited, and the physiological and molecular effects of leaf color mutations in oats are not fully understood. The zebra-striped oat mutant, derived from the wild-type Everleaf via sodium azide (SA) mutagenesis,...
