Abstract excerpt
NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductases (NTRs) are key regulatory enzymes determining the redox state of the thioredoxin system. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome has two genes coding for NTRs (NTRA and NTRB), both of which encode mitochondrial and cytosolic isoforms. Surprisingly, plants of the ntra ntrb knockout mutant are viable and fertile, although with a wrinkled seed phenotype, slower plant growth, and pollen...
