Structural Model of the ETR1 Ethylene Receptor Transmembrane Sensor Domain.

abstract：:Understanding the role of morphogen in activating its target genes, otherwise epigenetically repressed, during change in cell fate specification is a very fascinating yet relatively unexplored domain. Our in vivo loss-of-function genetic analyses reveal that specifically during ectopic eye formation, the morphogen Dec...
