Phenotype: chlorophyll deficient, yellow in the dark
This strain is blocked in both the light and dark pathways of protochlorophyllide conversion. It is light-sensitive, and should be maintained in darkness. The PC1 locus corresponds to the gene encoding NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase. The gene represented by the y1 mutation has not yet been identified.
