How Cysteine Protease Gene <i>PtCP5</i> Affects Seed Germination by Mobilizing Storage Proteins in <i>Populus trichocarpa</i>

In higher plants, seed storage proteins are deposited in protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) and degraded by protease, especially cysteine proteases, as a source of nitrogen for seed germination. In this study, a cathepsin B-like cysteine protease PtCP5, which is important for seed germination and polle...
