transcriptome analysis of maize aleurone treated with GA or C646 (PRJCA019265)
The aleurone layer is an integral part of many plant seeds, and during seed germination, aleurone cells undergo PCD, which is promoted by GA from the embryo.  However, the numerous components of the GA signaling pathway that mediate PCD of the aleurone proteins remain to be identified.  Few genes and transcriptomes have been studied thus far in aleurone layers to improve our understanding of how PCD occurs and how the regulatory mechanism functions during PCD.
