Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis gene ATHCOR1, which encodes the CORI1 (coronatine-induced) protein, was expressed in bacterial cells. Soluble recombinant CORI1 was purified and shown to possess chlorophyllase (Chlase) activity in vitro. To determine its activity in vivo, wild-type Arabidopsis and coi1 mutant, which lacks ATHCOR1 transcripts, were transformed with sense and antisense forms of the gene. Wild-type and coi1 plants...
