Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an intracellular recycling pathway that extends the life of an organism in hostile growth conditions. Yeast autophagy protein 6 (Atg6/Vps30) is required for formation of autophagosomes during starvation. Here we show that the Arabidopsis ATG6 homolog is an essential gene required for pollen germination and plant development. Analysis of multiple atg6 lines of Arabidopsis containing T-DNA inserts...
