Article Synopsis
- The degree of methylesterification in pectin affects plant growth and is regulated by proteins involved in demethylesterification, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.
- In Arabidopsis seeds, the transcription factor ZAT5 negatively regulates pectin demethylesterification by controlling the expression of pectin methylesterases, leading to variations in seed mucilage thickness.
- ZAT5 interacts with other transcription factors BLH2 and BLH4, forming a regulatory module that influences pectin methylesterification in seed coat mucilage by affecting the expression of target genes linked to PMEs.
