GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Data indicate that QUA1 may function in chloroplast-dependent calcium signaling under salt and drought stresses. Additionally, CAS may function downstream of QUA1 to mediate these processes.
    Title: The Glycosyltransferase QUA1 Regulates Chloroplast-Associated Calcium Signaling During Salt and Drought Stress in Arabidopsis.
  2. the QUA1 gene may play multiple roles in light signal transduction by regulating the cell elongation and light-regulated gene expression.
    Title: [Expression and functional analyses of the Arabidopsis QUA1 gene in light signal transduction].
  3. This study demonstrates a specific role for QUA1 in the development of vascular tissue in rapidly elongating inflorescence stems and supports a role of QUA1 in pectin and hemicellulose cell wall synthesis.
    Title: QUASIMODO1 is expressed in vascular tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescence stems, and affects homogalacturonan and xylan biosynthesis.
  4. These results show that perturbation of QUASIMODO 1-1 gene expression in calli resulted in alterations of homogalacturonan content and cell wall location.
