| Description |
An early senescence leaf 4 (esl4) mutant of rice (Oryza sativa L.) displayed yellowing followed by severe chlorosis of the leaf apex and margin from the late jointing stage to maturity. The content of photosynthetic pigments in the mutant was significantly lower than in wild-type plants, and abnormalities in cell structure were detected in the mutant leaf blade. Stomatal conductance and rates of photosynthesis and transpiration were lower inesl4 than in wild-type plants. The esl4 mutant was nitrogen deficient, and expression and enzyme activities of genes related to nitrogen metabolism were down-regulated. |
