“…5I-K). Taken together, we conclude that OsABCI7 plays a crucial role in chloroplast biogenesis, especially under low temperature stress and in the greening process.The homologue of rice OsABCI7, Arabidopsis AtABCI11 (AtNAP14), participates in the regulation of chloroplast metal homeostasis and attaches to the inner envelop membrane of the chloroplast; compared to the wild-type (Col-0), metal elemental contents including iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu) are higher, while manganese (Mn) is lower in Atabci11 mutant shoot tissues, whereas Fe and Zn contents in Atabci11 were lower than those of Col-0 in root tissues(Shimoni-Shor et al, 2010;Voith von Voithenberg et al, 2019). Hence, we determined the contents of metal elements, including magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), Fe, Cu and Zn in the shoot and root tissues of WT and cnl1.…”
