Background  The plant chloroplast is essential for photosynthesis and other cellular processes, but an understanding of the biological mechanisms of plant chloroplast development are incomplete.    Results  A new temperature-sensitive  white stripe leaf 9  (  wsl9  )  rice mutant is described. The mutant develops white stripes during early leaf development, but becomes green after the three-leaf stage under field conditions. The  wsl9  mutant was albinic when grown at low temperature. Gene mapping of the  WSL9  locus, together with complementation tests indicated that  WSL9  encodes a novel protein with an HNH domain.  WSL9  was expressed in various tissues. Under low temperature, the  wsl9  mutation caused defects in splicing of  rpl2 , but increased the editing efficiency of  rpoB  .  Expression levels of plastid genome-encoded genes, which are transcribed by plastid-coded RNA polymerase (PEP), chloroplast development genes and photosynthesis-related genes were altered in the  wsl9  mutant.    Conclusion   WSL9  encodes an HNH endonuclease domain-containing protein that is essential for early chloroplast development. Our study provides opportunities for further research on regulatory mechanisms of chloroplast development in rice.
