Abstract:
... To elucidate the contribution of CRL3–ABA-mediated responses, we attempted to find CRL3 substrate receptors involved in ABA signaling. One gene named ABA-HYPERSENSITIVE BTB/POZ PROTEIN 1 (AHT1) was upregulated more than 2.5 times by ABA, and its coding region possessed a BTB/POZ domain, which is the common feature of CRL3 substrate receptors. Loss of AHT1 led to retardation of the germination proc ...

One of the oxidized amino acids, methionine sulfoxide (MetO), was frequently found in stressed plants. In soybeans, there are five methionine-R-sulfoxide reductases (GmMSRBs) responsible for the reduction of Met-R-O, one of the two MetO iso ...
