Abstract:Signals emanating from chloroplasts influence nuclear gene expression, but roles of retrograde signals during chloroplast development are unclear. To address this gap, we analyzed transcriptomes of four non-photosynthetic maize mutants and interpreted them in the context of transcriptome dynamics during normal leaf development. We analyzed two albino mutants lacking plastid ribosomes and two chlorotic mutants with thylakoid targeting or plastid transcription defects. The ~2700 differentially expressed genes fa… Show more
