Abstract excerpt
A recessive mutant with white leaves was identified in a screen of a population of T-DNA-tagged Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The mutation is lethal, but plants develop almost to maturity under sterile conditions. The white areas in leaves are devoid of developed chloroplasts, but the plants frequently develop green sectors which contain green chloroplasts. Molecular characterisation of the affected gene revealed...
