Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor TRANSPARENT TESTA 16 (TT16) plays an important role in endothelial cell specification and proanthocyanidin (PA) accumulation. However, its precise regulatory function with regard to the expression of endothelial-associated genes in developing seeds, and especially in the PA-producing inner integument, remains largely unknown. Therefore, we endeavored to characterize four TT16 homologs...
