The mechanism of variegation in immutans provides insight into chloroplast biogenesis

Abstract: The immutans (im) variegation mutant of Arabidopsis has green and white-sectored leaves due to the absence of fully functional PTOX (plastid terminal oxidase), a plastoquinol oxidase in thylakoid membranes. PTOX appears to be at the nexus of a growing number of biochemical pathways in the...
