Abstract excerpt
Plants develop various endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived structures, each of which has specific functions. The ER body found in Arabidopsis thaliana is a spindle-shaped structure that specifically accumulates high levels of PYK10/BGLU23, a beta-glucosidase that bears an ER-retention signal. The molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the ER body remain obscure. We isolated an ER body-deficient mutant in...
