ABI3
Description
The ABI3 gene, short for ‘ABA Insensitive 3‘, plays a crucial role in regulating seed development in plants. It encodes a transcription factor that controls the expression of numerous genes involved in seed maturation, dormancy, and germination. The ABI3 protein interacts with other regulatory proteins, forming a complex network that ensures the proper development of viable seeds.
