Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are critical post-translational modifications in eukaryotes, playing essential roles in various aspects of plant growth and development. However, their involvement in maize kernel development remains largely unexplored. In this study, we characterized a novel maize kernel mutant (ubp5-ems#1) induced by ethyl methanesulfonate, which exhibited a smaller size, arrested embryo,...
