Inhalt
- Background
- Results
- Generation and phenotypical characterization of high light tolerant C. reinhardtii mutants
- Genotypical characterization of hit1 and hit2 by whole genome re-sequencing
- Confirmation of the causative mutation in LRS1 referring to HL tolerance
- Localization of the mutations in a predicted WD40 ß-propeller motif of LRS1
