Abstract excerpt
Olive (oli) is a recessive nuclear mutation of Antirrhinum majus which reduces the level of chlorophyll pigmentation and affects the ultrastructure of chloroplasts. The oli-605 allele carries a Tam3 transposon insertion which has allowed the locus to be isolated. The oli gene encodes a large putative protein of 153 kDa which shows homology to the products of two bacterial genes necessary for tetrapyrrole-metal...
