Light-dependent expression of protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase gene in the liverwort, Marchantia paleacea var. diptera.
A cDNA encoding the NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.1) was isolated from suspension-cultured cells of the liverwort, Marchantia paleacea var. diptera. In contrast to the situation in most higher plants, the liverwort gene was expressed in a light-dependent manner.
