Wheat homologs of yeast ATG6 function in autophagy and are implicated in powdery mildew immunity
1 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Autophagy-related ATG6 proteins are pleiotropic proteins functioning in autophagy and the phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate-signaling pathways. Arabidopsis ATG6 regulates normal plant growth, pollen development and germination, and plant responses to biotic/abiotic stresses. However, the ATG6 functions in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an important food crop, are lacking. RESULTS: We identified three...
