Gene coexpression clusters and putative regulatory elements underlying seed storage reserve accumulation in Arabidopsis

摘要

BackgroundIn Arabidopsis, a large number of genes involved in the accumulation of seed storage reserves during seed development have been characterized, but the relationship of gene expression and regulation underlying this physiological process remains poorly understood. A more holistic view of this molecular interplay will help in the further study of the regulatory mechanisms controlling seed storage compound accumulation.
