Nuclear genes required for post-translational steps in the biogenesis of the chloroplast cytochrome b6f complex in maize.

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear genes essential for the biogenesis of the chloroplast cytochrome b6f complex were identified by mutations that cause the specific loss of the complex. We describe four transposon-induced maize mutants that lack cytochrome b6f proteins but contain normal levels of other photosynthetic complexes. The four mutations define two nuclear genes. To identify the step at which each mutation blocks protein...
