Description
Résumé:Copyright © 2025. Published by Elsevier B.V.
Chlorophyll is vital for plants, giving them their green color and playing indispensable crucial role in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll-deficient mutants serve as classic models for studying plant pigment metabolism and typically exhibit chlorotic or albino phenotypes, resulting in major impacts on photosynthetic efficiency and growth development of plants. Understanding the mechanisms behind chlorophyll deficiency not only advances basic plant biology but also supports crop breeding strategies aimed at improving yield, stress tolerance, and adaption. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent research on the molecular mechanisms underlying chlorophyll metabolism, chloroplast structure, photosynthetic systems, relevant transcription factors, and the effects of external environmental factors on chlorophyll-deficient mutants. It provides a theoretical basis for improving plant pigment metabolism and crop breeding
