Identification of BFN1, a bifunctional nuclease induced during leaf and stem senescence in Arabidopsis.

abstract：:Increasing the yield of oilseed crops is an important objective for biotechnologists. A number of individual genes involved in triacylglycerol metabolism have previously been reported to enhance the oil content of seeds when their expression is altered. However, it has yet to be established whether specific combinatio...
