摘　　要：Plant leaves play a significant role in photosynthesis. Normal chloroplast development is critical for plant growth and yield performance. Defect of the chlorophyll in chloroplasts may cause abnormal leaf colors, such as yellow, white, or stripe. Chloroplasts have their own genomes encoding for about 100 genes that are essential for plastid protein synthesis and photosynthesis （Kanno and Hirai, 1993; Sato et al., 1999）. Moreover, over 3000 proteins encoded by plant nuclear genomes target to the chloroplasts and participate in the chloroplast development and/or photosynthesis. Hitherto, a number of plant genes, which encode for enzymes involved in chlorophyll biosynthetic pathways,Plant leaves play a significant role in photosynthesis.
