Intragenic enhancers and suppressors of phytoene desaturase mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Intragenic enhancers and suppressors of phytoene desaturase mutations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Photosynthetic organisms synthesize carotenoids for harvesting light energy, photoprotection, and maintaining the structure and function of photosynthetic membranes. A light-sensitive, phytoene-accumulating mutant, pds1-1, was isolated in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and found to be genetically linked...
