Chloroplast development requires the coordinated expressions of nuclear and chloroplast genomes, and both anterograde and retrograde signals exist and work together to facilitate this coordination. We have utilized theArabidopsis yellow variegated(var2) mutant as a tool to dissect the genetic regulatory network of chloroplast development. Here, we report the isolation of a new (to our knowledge)var2genetic suppressor locus,SUPPRESSOR OF VARIEGATION9(SVR9).SVR9encodes a chloroplast-localized prokaryotic type translation initiation factor 3 (IF3).svr9-1mutant can be fully rescued by theEscherichia coliIF3 infC, suggesting that SVR9 functions as a bona fide IF3 in the chloroplast. Genetic and molecular evidence indicate that SVR9 and its close homolog SVR9-LIKE1 (SVR9L1) are functionally interchangeable and their combined activities are essential for chloroplast development and plant survival. Interestingly, we found that SVR9 and SVR9L1 are also involved in normal leaf development. Abnormalities in leaf anatomy, cotyledon venation patterns, and leaf margin development were identified insvr9-1and mutants that are homozygous forsvr9-1and heterozygous forsvr9l1-1(svr9-1 svr9l1-1/+). Meanwhile, as indicated by the auxin response reporterDR5:GUS, auxin homeostasis was disturbed insvr9-1,svr9-1 svr9l1-1/+, and plants treated with inhibitors of chloroplast translation. Genetic analysis established thatSVR9/SVR9L1-mediated leaf margin development is dependent onCUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON2activities and is independent of their roles in chloroplast development. Together, our findings provide direct evidence that chloroplast IF3s are essential for chloroplast development and can also regulate leaf development.
