Marchantia polymorpha, a New Model Plant for Autophagy Studies
17 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a catabolic process for bulk and selective degradation of cytoplasmic components in the vacuole/lysosome. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ATG genes were identified as essential genes for autophagy, and most ATG genes are highly conserved among eukaryotes, including plants. Although reverse genetic analyses have revealed that autophagy is involved in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses in land...
