Photosynthetic Mutant Library
Project Goals
- Generate a saturated collection of Mu-induced
non-photosynthetic maize mutants
- Use the mutant collection as a forward and
reverse genetic resource to:
- determine the roles of nuclear genes of
known sequence but unknown function that encode
chloroplast-localized proteins
- identify and clone new nuclear genes that
are required for the biogenesis of a functional
chloroplast
