Abstract: Variegation induced by mutation in nuclear genes is a powerful tool to study interactions between organelle (especially the chloroplast) and nucleus. It is also of great interests for horticultural sciences. Leaf variegation resulted from mutation of 8 Arabidopsis nuclear genes， IMMUTANS， VAR1， VAR2， CHM， CUE1， PAC， ATD2 and VAR3， has been reviewed. Proteins encoded by these genes and variegation mechanisms related to these genes were presented.
