From Tasios Melis, University of California, Berkeley, October 2011
Phenotype: somewhat chlorophyll deficient
This strain has a lower Chl per cell content and higher Chl a / Chl b ratio than corresponding wild type strains. Physiological analyses revealed a higher intensity for the saturation of photosynthesis and greater Pmax values in the tla3 mutant than in the wild type. Biochemical analyses showed that the tla3 strain was deficient in the Chl a-b light harvesting complex (LHC), and had an average Chl antenna size of the photosystems that was only about 45% of that in the wild type.
