YGL46 encoding ferredoxin-like protein interacts with FTR and CAO to regulate chlorophyll synthesis and leaf development in maize.
Functional analysis showed that YGL46 interacts with ferredoxin-thioredoxin reductase (ZmFTR, Zm00001d045366), potentially functioning as an electron donor, to affect MgP IX accumulation, thereby regulating leaf development, and interacts with chlorophyllide a oxygenase (ZmCAO, Zm00001d002408) to regulate chlorophyll b...
