Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the process of glycerol catabolism in germinating Arabidopsis seed. A genetic screen was performed to isolate glycerol-insensitive (gli) mutant seedlings. Three separate mutant loci were identified (gli1, gli2 and gli3). Of these, only gli1 is unable to utilise glycerol. Following germination, gli1 seedlings transiently accumulate glycerol derived from the breakdown of...
