Abstract excerpt
Dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of dihydrofolate (DHF) into tetrahydrofolate (THF) by the DHFR domain and dUMP to dTMP as well as 5,10-methylene-THF to DHF by the TS domain. To date, the contributions of DHFR-TS to chlorophyll biosynthesis and plant growth are not well defined. In this study, we isolated a grain-filling-stage premature...
