Physiological, transcriptome and co-expression network analysis of chlorophyll-deficient mutants in flue-cured tobacco

Abstract Background Photosynthetic pigments in higher plants, including chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids, are crucial for photosynthesis and photoprotection. Chl-deficient tobacco seedlings generally have a lower photosynthesis rate and higher nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) content, which causes a profou...
