The transcription factor DOF AFFECTING GERMINATION1 (DAG1) is a repressor of seed germination acting downstream of the master repressor PHYTOCROME INTERACTING FACTOR3-LIKE 5 (PIL5). Among others, PIL5 induces the expression of the genes encoding the two DELLA proteins GA INSENSITIVE 1 (GAI) and REPRESSOR OF ga1-3 (RGA). | Independent and interactive effects of DOF affecting germination 1 DAG1 and the Della proteins GA insensitive GAI and Repressor of ga1-3 RGA in embryo development and seed germination
