1 Arabidopsis glabra2 mutant seeds deficient in mucilage biosynthesis produce more oil. Oils HD-ZIP IV family of homeobox-leucine zipper protein with lipid-binding START domain-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 Surprisingly, our results indicate that it is loss of GL2 activity in the seed coat, not the embryo, that contributes to the high seed oil phenotype. Oils HD-ZIP IV family of homeobox-leucine zipper protein with lipid-binding START domain-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
3 We propose that gl2 mutant seeds produce more oil due to increased carbon allocation to the embryo in the absence of seed coat mucilage biosynthesis. Oils HD-ZIP IV family of homeobox-leucine zipper protein with lipid-binding START domain-containing protein Arabidopsis thaliana
