Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Grafted lethal yellow soybean survived to maturity.
- Observation Lethal yellow soybean leaves had virtually no chlorophyll under moderate to high light.
- Intervention effect Low continuous light greatly increased chlorophyll content in lethal yellow soybean leaves.
- Observation Lethal yellow soybean leaves under low light had limited photosynthetic activity.
- Observation Lethal yellow soybean plants under low light survived without grafting for several weeks.
- Mechanism The lethal yellow soybean mutant apparently differed from chlorophyllous plants by rapid chlorophyll degradation rather than inability to synthesize it.
