Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacteria Synechocystis 6803 and 6714 contain three genes (psbA) coding for the D1 protein. This protein is an essential subunit of photosystem II (PSII) and is the target for herbicides. We have used herbicide-resistant mutants to study the role of the two homologous copies of the psbA genes in both strains (the third copy is not expressed). Several herbicide resistance mutations map within the psbAI...
