Abstract excerpt
Photosynthesis genes in plant chloroplasts are transcribed by the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase called PEP. Consequently, PEP-deficient mutants cannot generate a photosynthetic apparatus and develop non-viable albino seedlings. Inducible complementation of such mutants thus could provide interesting insights in PEP action and chloroplast biogenesis. Here we show the effects of photo-inducible complementation in...
