Abstract excerpt

Type 4 metallothionein (MT) genes are recognized for their specific expression in higher plant seeds, but their functions are still unclear. In this study, the functions of two Arabidopsis metallothionein genes, AtMT4a and AtMT4b, are investigated in seed development, germination and early seedling growth. Transcriptional analysis showed that these two genes are specifically expressed in late embryos. Subcellular...
