A clade-specific Arabidopsis gene connects primary metabolism and senescence

A clade-specific Arabidopsis gene connects primary metabolism and senescence

Nearly immobile, plants have evolved new components to be able to respond to changing environments. One example is Qua Quine Starch (QQS, AT3G30720), an Arabidopsis thaliana-specific orphan gene that integrates primary metabolism with adaptation to environment changes. SAQR (Senescence-Associated an...
