Article Synopsis
- The gene studied encodes a protease in the thylakoid membrane, which plays a key role in chloroplast development in leaf mesophyll cells.
- Research on two mutants derived from Ar radiation showed severe chlorophyll deficiency in chloroplasts of leaf epidermal guard and pavement cells.
- Observations indicated that the gene is crucial for chloroplast differentiation, particularly in guard cells, as it affects the size and development of plastids.
Argon-ion beam is an effective mutagen capable of inducing a variety of mutation types. In this study, an argon ion-induced pale green mutant of was isolated and characterized. The mutant, designated Ar50-33-pg1, exhibited moderate defects of growth and greening and exhibited rapid chlorosis in photosynthetic tissues.
