Abstract

Summary: Conditionally lethal mutant alleles of the FUSCA3 ( FUS3 ) gene of Arabidopsis thaliana are specifically defective in the gene expression program responsible for seed maturation. FUS3 was isolated by map‐based cloning and expression of the FUS3 cDNA resulted in complementation of the Fus3– phenotype. In the predicted FUS3 gene product, a continuous stretch of more than 100 amino acids shows significant sequence similarity to the B3 domains of the polypeptides encoded by ABI3 ( Arabidopsis ) and VP1 (maize). FUS3 transcription was detected mainly in siliques and was found to be developmentally regulated during embryogenesis. Transcripts of abnormal sizes were observed in fus3 mutants due to aberrant splicing caused by point mutations at intron termini. Sequence analysis of mutant and wild‐type FUS3 alleles, as well as sequencing of fus3 cDNAs, revealed small in‐frame deletions at two different sites of the coding region. While a deletion between B3 and the C‐terminus of the predicted polypeptide was found in conjunction with normal FUS3 function, another deletion located within the conserved B3 domain (as well as truncations therein) were associated with the Fus3– phenotype. It is apparent, therefore, that an intact B3 domain is essential for the regulation of seed maturation by FUS3.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
