Basic mutant information
Mutant name	nyc3
Mutant/Transgenic	mutant
Ecotype	rice (O. sativa L. cv Nipponbare)
Mutagenesis type	EMS
(Semi-)Dominant/Recessive	recessive
Description	nyc3 retained a higher chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content than the wild-type but showed a decrease in other senescence parameters during dark incubation, suggesting that it is a non-functional stay-green mutant
