Overexpression of 7-hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll <i>a</i> Reductase from Cucumber in Tobacco Accelerates Dark-Induced Chlorophyll Degradation

Overexpression of 7-hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll <i>a</i> Reductase from Cucumber in Tobacco Accelerates Dark-Induced Chlorophyll Degradation

7-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll (Chl) <i>a</i> reductase (HCAR) plays critical roles in the Chl cycle and degradation during leaf senescence, however, its function in horticultural crops remains unknown. Here, we identified an <i>HCAR</i> gene (<i>CsHCAR</i>) from cuc...
