Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the plastidic caseinolytic protease (Clp) in higher plants, particularly examining its structure and function, primarily in rice and the model plant Arabidopsis.
- Researchers isolated a mutant rice strain (vyl) with yellow chlorotic leaves, revealing that the mutated VYL gene encodes a protein similar to a Clp subunit and is critical for chloroplast development.
- Interaction studies identified VYL's associations with other Clp proteins, shedding light on the assembly and regulation of the Clp system in plants.
The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) gene family represents one of the largest gene families in higher plants. Accumulating data suggest that PPR proteins play a central and broad role in modulating the expression of organellar genes in plants. Here we report a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant named young seedling albino (ysa) derived from the rice thermo/photoperiod-sensitive genic male-sterile line Pei'ai64S, which is a leading male-sterile line for commercial two-line hybrid rice production.
