The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is biosynthesized by higher plants in response to various abiotic stresses such as drought and antagonizes the growth and germination-promoting hormone gibberellic acid (GA). The seed is a model system for studying desiccation tolerance and germination. The thin layer of cells surrounding the seed, the aleurone layer, plays a direct role in seed germination and an indirect role in desiccation tolerance. The goal of my research is to address the molecular mechanism underlying the responses of rice aleurone cells to ABA and GA, by taking a genomics approach. An accurate and complete annotation of the …
