Key messageCosuppression of anArabidopsisRubisco small subunit geneRBCS3BatArabidopsisresulted in albino or pale green phenotypes which were caused by ROS accumulationAbstractAs the most abundant protein on Earth, Rubisco has received much attention in the past decades. Even so, its function is still not understood thoroughly. In this paper, fourArabidopsistransgenic lines (RBCS3B-7,18,33, and 35) with albino or pale green phenotypes were obtained by transformation with a construct driving expression of senseRBCS3B, a Rubisco small subunit gene. The phenotypes produced in these transgenic lines were found to be caused by cosuppression. Among these lines,RBCS3B-7displayed the most severe phenotypes including reduced height, developmental arrest and plant mortality before flowering when grown under normal light on soil. Chloroplast numbers in mesophyll cells were decreased compared to WT, and stacked thylakoids of chloroplasts were broken down gradually inRBCS3B-7throughout development. In addition, theRBCS3B-7line was light sensitive, and PSII activity measurement revealed thatRBCS3B-7suffered severe photoinhibition, even under normal light. We found that photoinhibition was due to accumulation of ROS, which accelerated photodamage of PSII and inhibited the repair of PSII inRBCS3B-7.
