An investigation of the dual mechanism of uORF-mediated regulation of GGP1 expression and the effects on drought stress in cotton
Abstract Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are intrinsic regulatory elements that fine-tune gene expression at the translational level without altering genomic sequences or protein structures. Here, we targeted the conserved uORF that resides in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of a GDP-galactose phosphorylase ge...
