Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Chlorotic kiwifruit seedlings developed interveinal chlorosis followed by growth arrest and death after 9–10 leaves.
- Observation Chlorotic kiwifruit leaves had altered chloroplast size.
- Observation Chlorotic kiwifruit plantlets had lower net CO2 assimilation.
- Observation Chlorotic leaves accumulated phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, boron, and extractable iron differently.
- Observation Chlorotic plantlet leaves overexpressed genes for chlorophyll metabolism, photosynthesis, and protein translation.
- Observation The cht phenotype was attributed to a putative monogenic recessive mutation mapped to chromosome 18.
- Mechanism The authors infer cht affects chloroplast biogenesis, photosynthesis, and iron metabolism.
