HIGHLIGHTS
- who: . and collaborators from the University of Lisbon, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland have published the research work: Domesticating Vigna stipulacea : Chromosome-Level genome assembly reveals VsPSAT1 as a candidate gene decreasing hard-seededness, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors show that VsPSAT1 is likely the ortholog of AtPSAT1/ERP1 (AT1G04010), whose product catalyzes the transacylation of acyl groups from phospholipids to multiple sterols to produce sterol esters, preventing excessive sterol accumulation. In the present study, the isi2 mutant showed both agronomically positive traits (decreased hard- further experiments are required to verify gene function . . .
