摘要: The Arabidopsis zyg3 mutant exhibits a tight zygote-lethal phenotype. ZYG3, expressed in zygote and developing embryos, encodes a tRNA ligase which is essential for the splicing of tRNATyr and elongator tRNAMet, suggesting the critical role of tRNA splicing in the initiation of zygote divisions in plants.
