Deficient glutamate biosynthesis triggers a concerted upregulation of ribosomal protein genes in Arabidopsis

Abstract Biomass production requires the coordination between growth and metabolism. In a large-scale screen for mutants affected in leaf morphology, we isolated the orbiculata1 (orb1) mutants, which exhibit a pale green phenotype and reduced growth. The combination of map-based cloning and next-gen...
