Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CotAD_30325
• Gene Symbol: GhYGL1d
• Gene Name: YELLOW-GREEN LEAF
• Genome: TM1_NBI
• Species: Gossypium hirsutum

Functional Descriptions:

• GhYGL1d, a pentatricopeptide repeat protein, is required for chloroplast development in cotton.
• The GhYGL1d gene has a DYW domain in C-terminal and is highly express in leaves, localized to the chloroplast fractions.
• GhYGL1d share high amino acid-sequence homology with AtECB2. In atecb2 mutant, overexpression of GhYGL1d rescued the seedling lethal phenotype and restored the editing of accD and ndhF transcripts.
• Silencing of GhYGL1d led to the reduction of chlorophyll and phenotypically yellow-green leaves in cotton.
• GhYGL1d not only contributes to the editing of accD and ndhF genes, but also affects the expression of NEP- and PEP-dependent genes to regulate the development of thylakoids, and therefore regulates leaf variegation in cotton.
