Gene Details:

Functional Description:

  • PORB plays an important role in Pchlide homeostasis and greening of etiolated plants.
  • the import of PORB into plastids is not affected by the Pchlide content of the plastid, neither in true leaves nor in cotyledons.
  • Failure to express functional PORB leads to photodynamic damage due to the excess accumulation of free Pchlide molecules, acting as photosensitizers and provoking the generation of singlet oxygen.
