Abstract excerpt
In plants, many gene transcripts are very unstable, which is important for the tight control of their temporal and spatial expression patterns. To identify cellular factors controlling the stability of unstable mRNAs in plants, we used luciferase imaging in Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate a recessive mutant, stabilized1-1 (sta1-1), with enhanced stability of the normally unstable luciferase transcript. The sta1-1...
