From Ayumi Tanaka, Hokkaido University, Japan, February 2010

This is an insertional mutation in the CAO gene encoding chlorophyll(ide) a oxygenase, obtained by transformation of nit1-305 cw15 (5D) with the NIT1 gene. This mutant is deficient in chlorophyll b, but grows well on TAP medium in bright light.
