A putative plastidial adenine nucleotide transporter, BRITTLE1-3, plays an essential role in regulating chloroplast development in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Differentiation from proplastids into chloroplasts is a light- and energy-dependent process. How this process is regulated is still poorly understood at the molecular level. We herein report a new putative pla...
