Abstract: As a basic technique in photosynthetic research, chlorophyll fluorescence is an important way to screen photosynthetic mutants. Many mutants have been isolated using this technique, and some genes have been identified in recent years. At the same time, screening method theories have also been developed with the accumulation of knowledge on photosynthesis. The development of screening technology is discussed in this article.
