Dormancy Versus Germination: 3D Protein Modeling and Evolutionary Analyses Define the Roles of Genetic Variants in the Barley MKK3 Enzyme.

Abstract excerpt

Dormancy is a characteristic of plant seeds that has evolved to avoid exposing the young seedling to adverse weather conditions. The mitogen-activated protein kinase MKK3 from barley is known to mediate the duration of dormancy and subsequent germination of the grain. Here, we used computational and phylogenetic approaches to define the structural model of the monomeric MKK3 domain in complex with the downstream...
