Abstract excerpt
Autophagy plays crucial roles in the recycling of metabolites, and is involved in many developmental processes. Rice mutants defective in autophagy are male sterile due to immature pollens, indicating its critical role in pollen development. However, physiological roles of autophagy during seed maturation had remained unknown. We here found that seeds of the rice autophagy-deficient mutant Osatg7-1, that produces...
