Background  Zebra leaf mutants are an important resource for studying leaf colour in rice. In most such mutants, the zebra leaf phenotype results from defective chloroplast biogenesis. The molecular mechanism by which zebra leaves develop remains unclear, so additional zebra-leaf mutants need to be identified.    Results  We isolated a novel rice zebra-leaf mutant, named  zebra leaf 15  ( z15 ), which showed transversely striped leaves with yellow-green or white-green sectors, in which chloroplast structure was disturbed. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the structure of various organelles was impaired in yellow/white sectors.  Z15 , a single-copy gene in the rice genome, encodes a receptor-like protein kinase. Subcellular localization analysis indicates that Z15 and z15 are localized on the plasma membrane. The expression of  Z15  is induced by moderate low temperature (18 °C). The mutation of  Z15  influenced the expression of two downstream genes,  OsWRKY71  and  OsMYB4 , that were responsive to moderate low temperature. The results show that  Z15  plays a crucial role in the early stages of the response to moderate low temperature in rice.    Conclusions  We identified a novel zebra-leaf mutant ( z15 ) that impaired chloroplast structure in rice,  LOC_Os05g12680 , encoding a receptor-like protein kinase. Further study indiceted that  Z15  plays a crucial role in the early stages of the response to moderate low temperature in rice.
