Two new oleosin isoforms with altered expression patterns in seeds of the Arabidopsis mutant fus3.
Oleosins are proteins associated with lipid bodies mainly synthesised during seed development. Using a subtractive hybridisation approach two new members of the oleosin gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana have been isolated. The quantitative and temporal expression patterns of both genes are found to be affected in the fus3 mutant defective in late embryogenesis. This pattern is interpreted as a molecular marker for a mutant specific developmental change from a seed maturation to a germination pathway.
