For the first time, the organ-specific expression pattern of the AtUSP (At3g58450) gene, which also undergoes hormonal regulation, was shown. The USP protein encoded by this gene is involved in seed germination of Arabidopsis thaliana and, unlike abscisic acid, stimulates this process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
