Abstract:
PURPOSE: 1-cysteine peroxiredoxin protein which functions as a molecular chaperone in oxidative stress condition is provided to control seed germination and plant growth. CONSTITUTION: 1-cysteine peroxiredoxin protein is derived from Brassica rapa. The protein promotes seed germination and plant growth through a functional change by peroxidation of an active cysteine residue in oxidative stress condition. The protein has a preserved cysteine residue at 46th, 72th, and 131th amino acid residues. [Reference numerals] (AA) H_2O_2 reduction(umol/min/mmol Prx); (BB) Control group
