Báo cáo khoa học: Human GLTP and mutant forms of ACD11 suppress cell death in the Arabidopsis acd11 mutant

TheArabidopsis acd11mutant exhibits runaway, programmed cell death due to the loss of a putative sphingosine transfer protein (ACD11) with homology to mammalian GLTP. We demonstrate that transgenic expres-sion in Arabidopsis thalianaof human GLTP partially suppressed the phenotype of theacd11null mutant, resulting in delayed programmed cell death development and plant survival.
