Abstract excerpt
Seed storage proteins are synthesized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as precursors and then transported to protein storage vacuoles, where they are processed into mature forms. Here, we isolated an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, maigo2 (mag2), that accumulated the precursors of two major storage proteins, 2S albumin and 12S globulin, in dry seeds. mag2 seed cells contained many novel structures, with an...
