Pectin methylesterase 31 is transcriptionally repressed by ABI5 to negatively regulate ABA-mediated inhibition of seed germination

Pectin methylesterase (PME), a family of enzymes that catalyze the demethylation of pectin, influences seed germination.Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination.However, little is known about the function of PMEs in response to ABA-mediated seed germination.In this study, we found the role of PME31 in response to ABA-mediated inhi
