The model of chlorophyll biosynthesis and light reaction of photosynthesis in pgl. The chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway mainly consists of three parts (ALA formation, protoporphyrin IX formation and chlorophyll formation). Most genes and metabolites showed down-regulated expression in the pgl mutant compared to the wild-type plant (B73) resulting in decreased chlorophyll contents, abnormal chloroplast development and perturbed photosynthesis. The green background represents decreased expression of genes or metabolites in the pgl mutant. These genes are labeled on the basis of qRT-PCR analysis and are involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and the light reaction of photosynthesis.
