  • Homologs of SCF ubiquitin-ligase complex component GRR1
    Publication number: 20010034059
    Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a GRR1 homolog. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the GRR1 homolog, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the GRR1 homolog in a transformed host cell.
    Type: Application
