Description
Aimei Bai and co-authors map the protein team behind cabbage leaf greenness in a 2026 study. Leaf color in this Chinese cabbage comes from green and orange pigments. Four proteins were tracked inside the cells that make those pigments. Two close copies of one gene were found, and one copy took the lead role.
The lead protein sat in chloroplasts and cell membranes alike. It bound two partner proteins at the pigment making sites. A fourth protein joined the group, forming a four part complex. Two partners boosted the core pair's pigment making activity further.
