Transcriptomic analysis of NADP-ME1 effects on seed viability in fresh and aged Arabidopsis thaliana seeds
This project investigates the role of the cytosolic NADP-dependent malic enzyme 1 (NADP-ME1) in regulating seed viability in Arabidopsis thaliana. RNA sequencing was performed on fresh and aged seeds from wild-type and NADP-ME1 overexpression line. The resulting transcriptomic data were used to examine transcriptional priming, aging-responsive gene expression, and molecular pathways associated with seed viability, providing insight into the mechanisms by which NADP-ME1 influences seed longevity.
