Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast biogenesis is essential not only for photosynthesis but also for the synthesis of many metabolites critical for plant growth and human nutrition. Leaf variegation provides a powerful model for dissecting the process of chloroplast biogenesis, which encompasses both chloroplast development and division. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf variegation mutant var2, defective in the thylakoid...
