Abstract excerpt
Deficiency in the chloroplast metalloprotease FtsH2 causes the Arabidopsis leaf-variegated mutant yellow variegated2 (var2) to develop leaves with irregular green sectors and white sectors. This raises an intriguing question: why do genetically identical cells exhibit such dramatic phenotypic differences? The phenomenon highlights the probabilistic fates of chloroplasts in var2. Previous studies proposed that...
