Germination-Related Universal Stress Protein (GRUSP) Is Involved in Abscisic Acid Responses During Imbibition and Early Post-Germination Growth of Arabidopsis Seeds
It is found that disruption of the Arabidopsis thaliana At3g58450 gene, encoding germination-related USP (GRUSP), results in delayed germination and abscisic acid (ABA) hypersensitivity in the mutant the GABI-kat 115C08 (grusp-115) knockout line, demonstrating a functional relationship between these proteins.
