Abstract excerpt
Autophagy, a crucial mechanism for cellular degradation, is regulated by conserved autophagy-related (ATG) core proteins across species. Impairments in autophagy result in significant developmental and reproductive aberrations in mammals. However, autophagy is thought to be functionally dispensable in Arabidopsis thaliana since most of the ATG mutants lack severe growth and reproductive defects. Here, we...
