“…As predicted, these mutants globally reduce the pool of photochemically active phys often without dampening apoprotein accumulation. Examples include the hy1, se5, pcd1, pew1, and yg-2 mutants from Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa), pea (Pisum sativum), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), respectively, which affect genes encoding HOs that convert heme to BV (Parks and Quail, 1991;Weller et al, 1996;Davis et al, 1999;Muramoto et al, 1999;Izawa et al, 2000;Davis et al, 2001), and the hy2, au, elm1, and pcd2 mutants from Arabidopsis, tomato, maize (Zea mays) and pea, respectively, which affect genes encoding PFB synthases that convert BV to (3Z)-PFB (Parks and Quail, 1991;Weller et al, 1997;Kohchi et al, 2001;Sawers et al, 2004;Muramoto et al, 2005).…”
