Abstract excerpt
The EMB 506 gene has been characterised as essential for embryo development. To provide insights into the role of EMB 506, which is hidden by the embryo defective phenotype, the ABI3 promoter was fused to the EMB 506 cDNA. The expression of such a transgene should provide sufficient protein during embryogenesis to ensure normal embryo development in homozygous emb 506 seeds. We show that homozygous emb 506...
