Abstract excerpt

Vitamin B6, an essential cofactor for a range of biochemical reactions and a potent antioxidant, plays important roles in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. Vitamin B6 deficiency causes embryo lethality in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), but the specific role of vitamin B6 biosynthesis in endosperm development has not been fully addressed, especially in monocot crops, where endosperm constitutes...
