Abstract excerpt
The P4 ATPase family in Arabidopsis consists of 12 members that encode putative aminophospholipid translocases (ALA1-12). Until recently, no mutations in these genes have been shown to cause a visible phenotype, although reduced expression of ALA1 in transgenic plants expressing an antisense construct has been shown to result in reduced plant size when plants were grown under cold conditions. During a genetic...
