Abstract

A spontaneous yellow-green mutant was obtained from the japonica rice cultivar Dongjin in the field, designated as djyg. The mutant showed obvious yellow-green leaf phenotype at the seedling stage but the chlorotic leaves returned to green after the heading stage. Consistent with the phenotype, the chlorophyll b content of the mutant was reduced by 53%, 62% and 36% at the seedling, tillering and heading stages, respectively, compared with that of the wild type (WT). At the tillering stage, we observed that the granas and thylakoid stacks displayed a mess and loose structure, as well as less density in the mutant djyg compared with the WT under a transmission electron microscopy. The transcriptional levels of PORA, Cab1R, PsbA were also decreased in the mutant djyg. Genetic analysis and map-based cloning demonstrated that the phenotype of the mutant was controlled by a major recessive nuclear gene, which is an allele of chlorophyll synthase YGL1. The mutant djyg can be used as a phenotypic marker in rice breeding program since the main agronomic traits of the mutant djyg are normal compared with those of the WT.
