In genetics, insertion refers to the type of mutation characterized by the insertion of one or few nucleotide base pairs to a DNA sequence or a chromosome. It may be small-scale or large-scale type. A small-scale type of insertion mutation involves the insertion of one or a few ...
mutation or overexpression of genes involved in ABA biosynthesis or signaling often results in abnormal germination phenotypes34,35,36. For example, a loss-of-function mutation in the 14-3-3 family geneGF14henhances ABA signaling and reduces seed germination rate in rice37.Seed Dormancy 6(SD6...
We argue that the underlying ideas used in these methods, i.e. using the evolutionary conservation context [20,21] of the sequence that harbours the mutation for assessing the mutation impact, can be extended to rank the net effect of indels and NMs. In particular, for the protein coding ...
et al. The loss-of-function GLABROUS 3 mutation in cucumber is due to LTR-retrotransposon insertion in a class IV HD-ZIP transcription factor gene CsGL3 that is epistatic over CsGL1 . BMC Plant Biol 15, 302 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-015-0693-0 Download citation Received04...
However, it should be possible to test this question when a causative mutation, and its function in producing XX DSD, are confirmed. Unfortunately, gonads were too small to be analyzed by RNA-seq or PRO-seq at d30-32, the age in which SOX9 is first expressed in nor...
