Abstract excerpt
The recessive nuclear mutation iojap (ij) in maize produces striped plants with normal chloroplasts in green sectors and poorly developed chloroplasts in the white sectors. The ij mutation is also characterized by an array of additional phenotypic affects which suggests a pivotal role for Ij in chloroplast development. The Ij gene from maize has been isolated; however, the sequence has not provided information on...
