Plant Cell 15:449-63. 2003..RNA gel blot analysis and promoter-beta-glucuronidase reporter gene studies demonstrated AtIpk2beta gene expression in various organs tested. These data suggest a role for AtIpk2beta as a transcriptional control mediator in plants...
Mutants of GABA transaminase (POP2) suppress the severe phenotype of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ssadh) mutants in ArabidopsisFrank Ludewig
Botanical Institute, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
PLoS ONE 3:e3383. 2008..However, to date, genetic investigations of the relationships between enzymes of the GABA shunt have not been reported...
GABA shunt deficiencies and accumulation of reactive oxygen intermediates: insight from Arabidopsis mutantsAaron Fait
Department of Plant Sciences, Weizmann Institute of Science, 76100 Rehovot, Israel
FEBS Lett 579:415-20. 2005..These results provide novel evidence for the relationship between the GABA shunt and ROI, which may, in part, explain the phenotype of SSADH-deficient plants and animals...

Nirit Seeds Ltd, Moshav Hadar Ham 42935, Israel
FEBS Lett 581:2237-46. 2007..The picture emerging, albeit still fragmented, is of proteins with diverse functions in the control of ion homeostasis, development, and defense against biotic and abiotic threats...
Highway or byway: the metabolic role of the GABA shunt in plantsAaron Fait
Department Willmitzer, Max Planck Institut fur Molekulare Pflanzenphysiologie, Am Muhlenberg 1, 14476 Potsdam Golm, Germany
Trends Plant Sci 13:14-9. 2008..We further evaluate technological developments that will likely allow us to address the quantitative importance of this shunt within the biological processes to which it contributes...
