Fitness analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants depleted of FtsH metalloproteases and characterization of three FtsH6 deletion mutants exposed to high light stress, senescence and chilling.

Abstract excerpt

Darwinian fitness analyses were performed, comparing single ftsh mutants with wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown under controlled laboratory conditions and in the field, by measuring plant size, survival rate, and silique and seed production. Additionally, three genotypes of ΔFtsH6 were analysed, under controlled growth conditions, with respect to both their ability to degrade the light-harvesting...
