FtsHi4 is essential for embryogenesis due to its influence on chloroplast development in Arabidopsis.

Chloroplast formation is associated with embryo development and seedling growth. However, the relationship between chloroplast differentiation and embryo development remains unclear. Five FtsHi genes that encode proteins with high similarity to FtsH proteins, but lack Zn2+-binding motifs, are presen...
