To investigate the differential transcriptional regulation of individual members of the 2S albumin gene family and analyze the physiological consequences of expanding gene family size in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Characterized individual 2S albumin gene family members in Arabidopsis thaliana to assess their developmental and spatial expression profiles.
Introduced additional copies of 2S albumin genes via genetic transformation to evaluate the effects of increased gene dosage on transcript and protein accumulation.
Individual 2S albumin genes exhibited distinct temporal and spatial expression patterns during seed development.
Increasing the 2S albumin gene family size altered overall seed storage protein accumulation without proportional additive transcription across all loci.
