| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
PED3 is a peroxisomal membrane ABC transporter. Fatty acids released from seed reserved lipid in oil body are imported into peroxisome by PED3, and then converted into sucrose supplying essential energy for seed germination.
To identify genes regulating carbon metabolism during germination, we performed comprehensive isolation and molecular genetical analyses of ped3 suppressor mutants. Six mutants were so far identified and analyzed their phenotypes. One of the mutant was revealed that it had defect in plastidial folylpolyglutamate synthetase gene, and accumulated starch during germination in the dark.
