Gene regulation by the Arabidopsis seed maturation master regulator FUS3

ABSTRACT: The FUSCA3 (FUS3) transcription factor is considered to be a master regulator of seed maturation because a wide range of seed maturation events are impaired in its defective mutant. To comprehensively identify genes under the control of FUS3, two types of microarray experiments were performed. First, transgenic plants in which FUS3 expression could be induced by the application of estrogen (ESTR) were used to identify the genes up-regulated in young seedlings of Arabidopsis in response to ectopic expression of FUS3. Second, transcriptomes were compared between fus3 mutant and wild type developing seeds. Combining the results of these experiments identified genes under relatively immediate and robust control of FUS3 during seed development. The analyses expanded the range of types of genes
