Abstract excerpt
In higher plants, peroxisomes accomplish a variety of physiological functions such as lipid catabolism, photorespiration and hormone biosynthesis. Recently, many factors regulating peroxisomal biogenesis, so-called PEX genes, have been identified not only in plants but also in yeasts and mammals. In the Arabidopsis genome, the presence of at least 22 PEX genes has been proposed. Here, we clarify the physiological...
