BES1-Mediated Brassinosteroid Signaling Negatively Regulates Biosynthesis and Signaling of Abscisic Acid to Increase Seed Size in Arabidopsis
Expression of ABA-deficient 2 (ABA2) gene involved in ABA biosynthesis was downregulated in bes1-D, but upregulated in bes1-KO. Hence, the expression of ABA2 is negatively controlled by the BES1 transcription fac...
