Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect PbfRNAi reduced starch content by about 5% versus normal genotypes.
- Intervention effect The o2 mutant reduced starch content by 11% versus normal genotypes.
- Intervention effect The double mutant decreased starch by 25%.
- Observation Affected genes were mainly enriched in sugar and protein metabolism.
- Intervention effect PPDK1, PPDK2 and SSIII expression and protein levels were further reduced in double mutants compared with single mutants.
- Mechanism PBF and O2 additively transactivate promoters carrying prolamine and O2 boxes.
- Mechanism PBF and O2 do not directly regulate SSIIa and SBEI.
- Intervention effect SSIIa and SBEI protein levels decrease significantly in o2 mutants and further in double mutants.
