Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Overexpressed cry1 and cry2 fusion constructs in transgenic Arabidopsis plants have functionally interchangeable domains.
- Intervention effect Hybrid cry1/cry2 receptor proteins promoted blue light-dependent anthocyanin accumulation in Arabidopsis, a function similar to cry1.
- Association Differences in activity of the hybrid proteins appear to be correlated with differing protein stability.
- Observation cry2 accumulates to high levels under low-light intensities in Arabidopsis.
