Arabidopsis SPA proteins regulate photoperiodic flowering and interact with the floral inducer CONSTANS to regulate its stability

…, S Jang, C Kulajta, H Braun, G Coupland, U Hoecker - 2006 - journals.biologists.com
The four-member SPA protein family of Arabidopsis acts in concert with the E3 ubiquitin ligase
COP1 to suppress photomorphogenesis in dark-grown seedlings. Here, we demonstrate …
