Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Low oxygen depleted starch and soluble sugars in QC stem cells.
- Intervention effect Low oxygen increased QC reliance on glycolytic fermentation and impaired the TCA cycle.
- Intervention effect Hypoxia did not activate PDC and ADH genes in the QC.
- Intervention effect ADH activity increased under hypoxia.
- Intervention effect PEP increased with little change in succinate under low oxygen.
- Intervention effect Succinate levels changed little under low oxygen.
- Intervention effect ZmPgb1.1 overexpression preserved QC stem cell function during stress.
- Mechanism ZmPgb1.1-associated QC preservation involved TCA activation and retained carbohydrate storage.
