Integration of epigenetic and genetic controls of seed size by cytokinin in Arabidopsis.

abstract：:Signaling pathways regulating proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are commonly mediated through protein-protein interactions as well as reversible phosphorylation of proteins. To facilitate the study of regulated protein-protein interactions in cells and living animals, we optimized firefly luciferase protei...
