LEUNIG regulates AGAMOUS expression in Arabidopsis flowers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
LEUNIG was identified in a genetic screen designed to isolate second-site enhancer mutations of the floral homeotic mutant apetala2-1. leunig mutations not only enhance apetala2, but by themselves cause a similar but less-pronounced homeotic ...

Continuous-time modeling of cell fate determination in Arabidopsis flowers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background The genetic control of floral organ specification is currently being investigated by various approaches, both experimentally and through modeling.

Arabidopsis TCP4 transcription factor inhibits high temperature-induced homeotic conversion of ovules

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Abnormal high temperature (HT) caused by global warming threatens plant survival and food security, but the effects of HT on plant organ identity are elusive.

Hotter, faster, sicker? Warming shifts the cost of infection from individuals to populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines how temperature alters disease impacts across biological scales in a host–pathogen system. We found infected hosts appear healthiest at warm temperatures, yet populations suffer most. This suggests climate warming may intensify disease impacts for populations in ways traditional individual‐level virulence metrics fail to predict ...

Evolution of fruit development genes in flowering plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The genetic mechanisms regulating dry fruit development and opercular dehiscence have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the bicarpellate silique, valve elongation and differentiation is controlled by FRUITFULL (FUL) that antagonizes ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

The effect of Superman, Agamous, and ACS-7 gene manipulations on sex determination in transgenic Fragaria vesca \u27Hawaii-4\u27 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sex determination is of interest to plant breeders who transfer useful genes from wild relatives to the cultivated strawberry. The potential roles in sex determination of seven candidate genes, which included five SUPERMAN genes, the AGAMOUS gene, and ...

The developmental and genetic bases of apetaly in Bocconia frutescens (Chelidonieae: Papaveraceae)

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2016
Background Bocconia and Macleaya are the only genera of the poppy family (Papaveraceae) lacking petals; however, the developmental and genetic processes underlying such evolutionary shift have not yet been studied.

The Effect of Familiarity Among Social Partners on the Jumping Behavior of Amazon Mollies

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Pairs of familiar or nonfamiliar clonal Amazon mollies were tested in individual bowls, from which they could only escape from by jumping. Familiar pairs remained together significantly more than non‐familiar ones. Other behavioral aspects, such as timing and direction of jumps was not affected by familiarity.
