Color Mutants

When a plant exhibits pale green, yellow or white leaves, it indicates that a gene that has been mutated plays a role in photosynthesis. However, it may also indicate insufficient levels of chlorophyll from nutrient deficiencies, an inefficient root system, or a number of other environmental factors.
