The chlorinal-1(ch1-1) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana lacks the light-harvesting complexes in photo-system II (LHCII) due to deficiency of ability to synthesize chlorophyll (Chl) b. To investigate if a lack of LHCII affects plant growth and water loss, the Chl content, Chl fluorescence, glutathione (G...
