Identification of chlorophyll-deficient mutant (cdm) plants and their phenotypes at the seedling and mature stage. (Aa, d, e) (left) and wild-type (‘FT’) plants at the seedling stage; (Ab) cdm (left) and ‘FT’ plants at the mature stage; (Ac) F1 plants derived from a cross of cdm× genetically distant inbred line (WZ) (left) and WZ × cdm (B) Chlorophyll content of cdm and ‘FT’ plants grown for 7 d and 25 d under long-day conditions. Error bars indicate one standard deviation of the mean (n = 5). Asterisks (**) indicate statistically significant differences between cdm and ‘FT’ at P < 0.01. fw, fresh weight
