Dual Roles of RAD23b and RAD4 on the Desiccation Tolerance of Germinated Seeds.
Desiccation tolerance (DT) is a survival trait enabling orthodox seeds to withstand extremely low water content. While some protective factors are characterised, it remains mechanistically obscure. Here, based on PEG-induced DT re-establishment in germinated Brassica napus L. seeds, we investigated the dual functions o...
