A rice PECTATE LYASE-LIKEgene is required for plant growth and leaf senesce...
May 22th，2017
Pectate lyase (PEL) is an endogenous pectin-degrading enzyme that is capable of cleaving α-1,4-glycosidic linkages in demethylated pectin by β-elimination. It is a ubiquitous enzyme in higher plants and is encoded by at least 26, 22, and...
