Abstract excerpt
A mutant designated crp1 (chloroplast RNA processing 1) was identified in a screen for transposon-induced maize mutants with defects in chloroplast gene expression. crp1 is a recessive, nuclear mutation that causes the loss of the cytochrome f/b6 complex and a reduction in photosystem I. The mole...
