Abstract
Carbon and nitrogen are two signals that influence plant growth and development. It is known that carbon- and nitrogen-signaling pathways influence one another to affect gene expression, but little is known about which genes are regulated by interactions between carbon and nitrogen signaling or the mechanisms by which the different pathway interact. To clarify the mechanisms regulated by carbon/nitrogen (CN)-signaling, Arabidopsis mutant that enables to develop under media containing high glucose and low nitrogen was isolated. The mutant, designated as ssv1 is due to overexpression of the SSV1 gene, which encodes RING-finger type E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Characterization of the mutant will be reported.
