YGL18

• Symbol: YGL18
• MSU: LOC_Os06g04150
• RAPdb: Os06g0132400

• Impaired Magnesium Protoporphyrin IX Methyltransferase ChlM Impedes Chlorophyll Synthesis and Plant Growth in Rice., 2017, Front Plant Sci.

Genbank accession number

• YGL18 is expressed in green tissues, especially in leaf organs, where it functions in chloroplasts
• The retarded growth of ygl18 mutant plants was caused by the high light intensity
• Based on these results, it is suggested that YGL18 plays essential roles in light-related chlorophyll synthesis and light intensity-involved plant growth
• Map-based cloning of this mutant identified the YGL18 gene LOC_Os06g04150
