Note correction: The locus tag for AtVex1 is incorrectly stated in the abstract and text, it should be At5g62850, not At5g62580. Additionally, a 1.2-kb region upstream of At5g62850, not a 2.1 kb region, was used as the putative promoter, and this fragment omitted a ~250 bp region just upstream of the currently annotated initiating methionine.
