A facile forward-genetic screen forArabidopsisautophagy mutants reveals twenty-one loss-of-function mutations disrupting sixATGgenes
8 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy is a process through which eukaryotic cells degrade large substrates including organelles, protein aggregates, and invading pathogens. Over 40 autophagy-related (ATG) genes have been identified through forward-genetic screens in yeast. Although homology-based analyses have identified conserved ATG genes in plants, only a few atg mutants have emerged from forward-genetic screens in Arabidopsis...
