PhenotypeDetails
Chimaeric mutants were made with part of psbC replaced by the corresponding region of spinach psbC.A large replacement leads to a photoheterotrophic phenotype, but smaller replacements can be accommodated.From mutant characterization, it appears that CP43 affects the properties of the water-splitting system of PS II.
