Abstract excerpt
Maternally inherited chlorophyll deficiency, or albinism, is a standard marker in plant cytoplasmic genetics. Its stability is consistent with mutations in the plastid genome. Nuclear mutations inducing plastid ribosome deficiency (PRD) also lead to maternally inherited chlorophyll deficiency. Here we report that stable chlorophyll deficiency can be efficiently generated in cruciferous plants without mutagenesis...
