Abstract excerpt
Comparative physiological analysis of mutant Arabidopsis seeds under defined environmental conditions was used to analyse the relative contributions of components of peroxisomal beta-oxidation in the control of seed germination potential. The COMATOSE (CTS) and KAT2 loci were shown to play essential roles in regulating germination and establishment potentials, whereas LACS6 and LACS7 loci only influenced...
