مستخلص المنشور

Chlorophyll (Chl) plays significant role in absorption of
sunlight by photosynthetic reaction centers (Liu et al.
2007) and approximately 100 terawatts of energy is
captured by plants (Nealson and Conrad 1999). Mutations
in the genes of Chl biosynthesis or related pathway result
in Chl-deficient mutants or leaf-color mutants. These
mutants are ideal materials for fundamental research in
photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, hormone physiology,
resistance mechanism, and identification of gene
functions (Parks and Quail 1991, Mochizuki et al. 2001,
Stern et al. 2004, Beale 2005). The chemical mutagen,
ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS), has been successfully
applied in wheat and rice (Wang et al. 2009, Ansari et al.
2012, Tian et al. 2012).
